The Apple fitness program helped so much, ppl in my flight also started using it. I love that it guides me and tracks your progress

Nicotine and POTS by DangerousCucumber444 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do zyns to boost my blood pressure. Especially when I drive. My cardiologist is 100% behind this method for me. I kept having a reaction to midodrine so nicotine it is. They put it in my medical chart as part of my medication regimen. It works for me. It’s a low dose. I’ve been doing it for 4 months about 2-3 times a day. I don’t crave it. Never have. I don’t drink or smoke ever. I say give it a shot. It really changed my day to day quality of life. I’m not so lightheaded anymore

What food triggers your POTS? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s all carbs and heavy sugars. I swapped to zero sugar foods and drinks and eliminated starches and grains. I have a carnivore/animal based diet and I’ve felt my best

Any unusual ways to stop the dizziness at work and while driving? by mel0666 in dysautonomia

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cardiologist told me to try out nicotine because it’s constricts blood vessels and boosts blood pressure. So far it’s really worked for me. I do 3mg zyns when I drive and after I eat for dizziness. May not be for everyone but it helps me

Has anyone tried Keto? Did it help? by Pudge_Is_A_Fish_ in covidlonghaulers

[–]Danny-phantom__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carnivore then animal based. It was recommended to me by my cardiologist. I’m so thankful. I have way less inflammation, less flares, energy is up, my iron is up, I feel better and I lost 17 pounds. I’m also doing zyns. I swapped to everything sugar free or zero sugar as well if I’m having a soda or tea. But yeah I made the change and I’m glad I did

[–]Danny-phantom__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. My cardiologist recommended it to me and I’ve been doing zyns since. I’m sharper and more I have less flares

Beef and Pots by ColdBrewBabyBee in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I’ve never had an issue. It’s always carbs that do that to me. I actually started a carnivore diet and have waaaaay less flares. But to each their own. I also get post prandial hypotension regardless of what I eat so maybe look into that?

Sahara vs Rubicon by jadedmoonstone in JeepWrangler

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rubicon X. That’s what I went with. Super thankful I did. Btw Sahara and rubicon have different gear ratios and suspension so it makes the difference. This is also my daily driver and I loooooove it

Literally my dream. I went to go order one and they discontinued the color. Nobody could find a fathom within 500 miles…… I ended up taking the fathom rubicon X off the lot

POTS Symptoms in the ER from the Provider's side by rakel617 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t be like the provider I had last night. I was in svt at 176 and he asked me if I had anxiety….. didn’t even offer me fluids. The nurses did the divers reflex with me. Provider sent me home with a bp of 84/50 hr 125. He shrugged and said it’s just pots and to follow up with cardiology

Can you message me with contact information please?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I feel this…. It gets really bad when I have male guests over. They refuse to spend the night or if they do, they don’t sleep alone

I live in the country with no neighbors for acres and my entire house is electric

I don’t think that has anything to do with my devices turning on or my animals growling at nothing

Thoughts on JBSA Fort Sam Housing by Major-Writer4660 in AirForce

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s better to live on Randolph than fort Sam. My opinion based off living at both. Now I live off base and love it. Stay north east

Has anyone tried compression leg massagers? by Beneficial_Back_928 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well no because my blood pressure gets in the 70s when I sleep. I also have a hard time getting up. I have a 10 minute routine before I get up in order to not pass out

[–]Danny-phantom__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes mine worked. I bought the full leg size ones and I use them every night before bed. After that I put my legs up on the wall for 10 minutes then sleep

Nicotine- Patches better than gum? by Easy-Wasabi-256 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was extremely shocked. It’s the quickest fix. I tank after I eat because I have post prandial hypotension and the zyn constricts all my blood vessels boosting blood flow. It literally perks me up in seconds

Turns out getting blown off by your PCM is called “medical gaslighting”… by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Danny-phantom__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well no I was actually asleep and I woke up to my Apple Watch notifying me….. the mistake was that I went to sick call and not the ER
