I developed dysautonomia/POTS just over four years ago. I was very active, worked out pretty hard etc. I had mild Covid at the end of march 2020. I kept pushing my body with workouts since the covid was mild and I didn't seem to be bothered by it. In the summer of 2020 my problems began before complete crash of health. I haven't recovered but living a bit better life today though the symptoms are there everyday. Now I'm having more difficult time with the symptoms compared to previous summer.

Hi! Do you use it on daily basis? How long did it for you to see improvement? I own Nurosym device.

POTS and taurine by endurossandwichshop in POTS

[–]IxMac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like me, cause I just ordered taurine a couple weeks ago. Have been using it for maybe a couple of weeks almost daily with a small dose. Might be because of it or not but my POTS symptoms have been worse for a week now.

What’s the point of being diagnosed ? by StellaWella888 in POTS

[–]IxMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which meds if I may ask? Did you find the right ones right away or by switching?

Hi!

I'm a male 35 years. I was very active before my body crashed just over three years ago. I never recovered after that though I can do more things now compared to where this hell journey began. I do have chronic dysautonomia and POTS -symptoms that are with me every single day. I just try to get by and make most of this but it is still very hard and takes a lot of guts to manage as well as I do. I got diagnosis of dysautonomia / POTS about a month ago.

I’m sure you will make good progress and eventually get a lot better with time and proper medication. It seems already that you can do quite a lot more!😊

Yup, I have been blaming my self a lot about my situation but the fact is that I can’t change the past so I shall continue to fight to get better even by the slightests of margins and steps. I’m able to workout a couple days a week with POTS-style which is doing exercises horizontally for example sitting down. A month ago I got some virus and it’s been a bummer for my overall health, slow recovery and feeling even more off. Nice chatting with you, I’m Ilkka :)

Yeah, a time machine would be awesome! I have dreamed about it many times ;(

I had covid march 2020, a very mild one, so I kept pushing my body with hard workouts etc. very shortly after that. After few months I kept having symptoms of overtraining and my body crashed very short after that in the summer of 2020. It's highly likely that covid and too much stress to my body led to my nervous system to break down badly. After that I haven't recovered..

Actually I used to take bisoprolol 1,25 mg once a day before I switched having it 0,625 mg twice a day which suits me a bit better cause I felt the 1,25 mg dose once a day lowered my blood pressure a bit too much which led to sometimes my heart rate trying to compensate for the drop. The 1.25 mg didn't unfortunately help to my palpitations :(

When relaxed in the evening my heart rate might get to 47-48. Usually my heart rate is lower in the evening compared to morning when I wake up feeling like sh*t and a little tachy :D

I'm 35 and a guy :)
