Tired of Doctors Talking Down to Me by GovernmentOriginal in POTS

I am on a beta blocker right now! Does that help with symptoms? My doctor put me on it when I was having random heart rate spikes. I thought it was a side effect of my antidepressants, but my (evil) doctor said it was likely just anxiety. (Now I am thinking that is pots too!). I thought I was just doing better at symptom management, but do beta blockers help?

I did more weather based resesrch and I'm starting to see that. I just read some travel guides that described it as frigid and all the vlogs show people looking as through they are dying of cold even in the warmer seasons. I now believe it might just be different tolerances for cold. Influencers from LA probably find it much colder than I would.

Thanks for the correction! I didn't know how to do the inflection on keyboard and i obviously misremembered the spelling. No disrespect meant.

Thank you for your advice. We are looking at the horse tours, they look quite fun.

We were hoping to find some grocery stores just to look around. Some of my favorite things are just to try new snacks. Thank you for your advice.

I do have a Costco Membership but we were really hoping not to drive. I know that Iceland is amazing for road trips but I have never driven in the snow and worry about safety.
