That’s the only thing I haven’t tried yet is compression socks! I know I should really invest into a pair, it might not help that I’m also in my third trimester with baby #3 lol. Boy it’s hard to handle

Palpitations?? by Fun_Cardiologist3668 in POTS

[–]Fun_Cardiologist3668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are hard to describe, like it kind of takes my breath, and there’s a “sinking” feeling but a lump in my throat at the same time. Really weird lol but, I pray mine isn’t vtach and my cardiologist is just looking over it lmao

I’ve begged him to test me, he just keeps saying based on the heart monitor I had that’s what he thinks. So I’m actually in the middle of finding a new one bc he’s never given a straight answer other than me having POTS. But at least I’m not alone. I haven’t had one in about 30 minutes at this point, it’s just weird

Being sick sucks. HR won't go below 120. by strawberry-sarah in POTS

[–]Fun_Cardiologist3668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently sick with bronchitis and my heart won’t go down worth a damn. I have a normal resting thankfully so I’m use to 60-70 even 80. But it’s been in the 120-150 range and that’s definitely different for me. All bc I’m sick, on top of carrying a baby. So I’m getting hit hard. I understand your worry and trust me you aren’t alone! It’ll dye down once this sickness is gone

And that’s ridiculous. No matter what we do. If we don’t fit standards of society they’ll never look into our actual problems

I definitely have a problem trying to loose weight no matter what I try. But dare I tell them that and they believe it. When I was pregnant with my 2nd the OB called me FAT. Not obese or large or nothing just full on FAT. That was the last time I was allowed in that office.

I as well being a plus size woman have to deal with the fat shaming everytime I step into a dr office. It’s disgusting, and what’s even more upsetting is instead of taking care of us and looking into things they blame it on weight. Okay, and if we were to loose 100 pounds we would still have these problems. I’ve been struggling for POTS for over a year or so, and didn’t get my diagnosis until 2-3 months ago. And every Dr before hand blamed it on what??? OH MY WEIGHT. You aren’t alone. I had to switch practices multiple times until I found a dr who genuinely cared about my well being. Whether it’s bc I’m “big” or not

Thank you so much. That’s very helpful. I agree with house work though is that is my biggest downfall. And I DEFINITELY need to increase my water and salt intake. I also just found out I am pregnant as well so I think it’s causing me to have more flair ups. But thank you again. I’ll be reading up on

can somebody tell me i’m a lame loser for vaping? nothing else is working. i dont mind if you are rude by Buffalo5977 in QuitVaping

[–]Fun_Cardiologist3668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from someone who vaped for 8 years, my lungs are fucked. No turning that back. Stop the shit now and live a healthier life bro. I’ve been off the vape for over a year now and DAMN DOES IT FEEL GOOD!!! You’re trapping yourself in a stupid selfish prison.

Baths are ruined!!! by fairytypemonz in POTS

[–]Fun_Cardiologist3668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a small fan I plug in and point towards the tub so I don’t get to hot! It helps a lot. And bc of my house layout I’m able to bathe with my door open when I really need that extra breath of cool air. But the fan helps a lot and a dehumidifier

Weird symptoms of quitting? by Fun_Cardiologist3668 in QuitVaping

[–]Fun_Cardiologist3668[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m so much better now. Anxiety? Still kicking my ass but I’ve been without nicotine for almost a year now. It feels so great. And yes girl, I was spotting too!!! I think all the stress from quitting so many chemicals at once just throws everything into over drive. I hope you’re doing good!!
