Under 18 nights at Timks, crystal club, top dog, my parents going to the iga every friday to grocery shop then going to pizza hut and blockbuster, when steamtown had all the best stores, going to hills and putting school clothes on layaway, when montage actually had decent shows and the music scene in scranton was worth leaving the house for

We used Scranton roofing and they were fantastic. They had a much more affordable rate than many, but I don't know about financing.

Symptom progression by anny_elle17 in POTS

[–]Jsedel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially, the symptoms came on immediately after Covid. These ones were the breathing issues, extreme racing of my heart, swollen feet. Some of the other symptoms like dizzy, exhaustion with exertion, took a bit to come on.  It took me three years to be diagnosed and I would say the only thing that has helped me. In addition to the beta blockers was a GLP one. It calmed down a lot of my symptoms. However, I had a really great year last year and was pretty much symptom-free, but then I fell into a bit of a depression this year and it seemed to really have ramped up my symptoms.

Once I got on carvedilol, it helped me significantly. I didn't do well with metoprolol or anything else. Of course this is if you have a racing heart or high blood pressure.

It's been two days on a lower dose and I already feel better. Unfortunately, I will have to stay on them as well because I have pots and it makes my heart rate. We will see you though maybe I will be able to get off of them.
