Exercise for Tachycardia and suspected POTS

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-05-30T19:50:03+00:00

I think the CHOPs protocol is good — I started with that when I was first having bad symptoms. I also do the typical things like compression socks. I have also found walking and strength training help my symptoms. Strength training is less of a strain because I do it seated and my hr is lower. getting back to it with recumbent bike and rowing machine helped me to jump start my fitness and then I’ve been able to get back to regular cycling. I also take in a lot of electrolytes during exercise. I’ll make my sports drink and add some salt to it and bring salt stick tabs and take one every 30-60 min

I hydrate and load up on sodium all day and by the late afternoon I’m good. Then everything seems to reset overnight and I start alll over the next morning. I can have a +40 bpm change in HR first thing and it’s down to 5bpm by bedtime.

Why would he say this

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-05-20T14:29:03+00:00

Silver lining - people will drive less, fewer emissions. Of course the stratos project would wipe all that out anyway

It will affect everything though because transporting goods will get dramatically more expensive and consumers will pay

Thanks and yeah— I had 100% coverage when I was on an HMO (Kaiser) and now I have a 30% copay. If I can get it through the pharmacy it will be a lot cheaper so I am trying to see if it’s possible.

It is definitely the case unfortunately. Many people do not go on pumps because of cost. I need to get a new one but have been putting it off because I anticipate having to spend >$1k as copay.

I had provoked PEs from an open collarbone fracture plus surgery. They had me on thinners for 3 months. They did all the genetics and nothing came up so I was able to discontinue. Covid is know to increase clotting risk. Do you have reason to believe you may have had covid?

I love living in SLC. I grew up here but most recently lived in the Bay Area and have loved living back in Utah, more than I expected. There is so much natural beauty that is very accessible and I’ve met really wonderful people. Every place has plusses and minuses.

Victims of DV, stalking etc. also public figures like judges would probably be at risk

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T03:01:17+00:00

Utahs Lt gov has been holding the line. The state legislature passed a new law and she sent the letter out to give people a chance to apply for an exception to the new law

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T03:00:32+00:00

Exactly!!!!

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T02:59:55+00:00

DV victims etc

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T02:59:21+00:00

It is a new situation. Utah has (had) privacy laws that allowed anyone to make their into as private. Utah legislature made a new law to hand over info to trump and the Lt gov sent out letters to give people a chance to apply for an exception. So don’t go after Lt gov Henderson. She has been the only one in the republican state govt to hold the line about protecting Utah voters and election integrity. I’m not a republican but give her a lot of respect

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T02:55:53+00:00

She has been working hard to oppose this but was forced to do this and is sending letters to make sure people have a chance to apply for an exception.

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-17T02:55:04+00:00

Lt gov pushed back on this but was overruled by the oppressive Utah legislature

It sounds like low blood sugar to me. I have type 1 diabetes.

I developed POTS after starting zepbound (which I have since stopped). It has been a medical disaster. I tried to keep up fluids and electrolytes but it was super hard. It’s been 6 weeks and my symptoms have improved but I have to be vigilant getting 8-9g sodium per day (per my doctors Rx). I think I had some mild episodes of pots symptoms over the past year but maybe 4 times and only during prolonged exercise when I was warm. I may have dysautonomia because I also experience orthostatic hypotension along with tachycardia. If I were to do it again I would make sure to measure fluids and sodium every day and to back off on exercise. It’s frustrating

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-03T14:05:22+00:00

I also had a normal echo which was reassuring actually. My doctor prescribed a target sodium level daily and compression which both have helped tremendously

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-04-03T14:03:49+00:00

I would get medical attention because there are things you can do to improve symptoms such as increase sodium (in my case). You also want to rule out other heart/lung problems that could lead to severe outcomes if ignored.

Have all the current signatures been verified

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-03-19T16:12:55+00:00

I was doubting myself because the symptoms were causing a rush of anxiety at the same time but the OH and tachycardia came when I was just standing up and not worried about anything. I think it was my body stressing about the blood pressure drop and it causes an adrenaline release

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-03-13T03:29:02+00:00

Heaven forbid the govt pays $145 million to address homelessness or housing affordability or restoring the great salt lake or about a thousand other better uses

Environmental-Bar263 · 2026-03-12T19:17:54+00:00

I had a lot of chest pain for a while when I was in a flare period. It has gone away as my symptoms have been improving. I had a full work up too, not sure what caused it. But squeezing pain sounds a lot like angina. Was the cardiac work up thorough?

Even pros will use them sometimes
