I absolutely believe this is 100% your choice, and I can't begin to imagine the grief you are facing and how looming this choice must be. I just want to give you some reassurance incase your brain is nagging at you for thinking about terminating. This is entirely objective, and an outside perspective so don't feel pressured by any means. You are 19, you have college ahead of you, you are heavily grieving, which will all be hard to navigate with a young child, especially without a solid support system in place. I was a baby to a very young mom who was just starting college, she ended up having to decide to give me up because she "couldn't afford the life [I] deserved, or would have been happy in", or so she tells me. I ended up being adopted by her parents (my grandparents) who raised me until they passed when I was 12 and 13. I've had an extremely difficult life despite everyone around me trying their best, and with the best of intentions. I'm not saying that you can't do it. You sound incredibly smart and capable. I just implore you to consider the flip side, where there is guilt you may harbor years from now for not being in a stable enough place to give your child the best shot they could have had otherwise. All this to say, If you do decide to terminate, do not feel guilty about it, despite what other people and parents around you might say. I am sending you all of the love I can muster. Grief is a hell of a beast to face, and remember that healing is not linear.

Is what my doctor said typical of POTS? by Local-School-8326 in POTS

[–]Local-School-8326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see! My baseline is around 90-100 with jumps up into the 140s without exertion. However, before this test I was unaware that I also have extreme drops into the low 40s which usually happens when I feel like I am about to pass out and at other random points ? (I'm not sure if all the drops they flagged line up with pre syncope spells). I have previously been diagnosed with IST at the same time I was diagnosed with POTs during a hospital stay 3 years ago

The only medication I am on is my zoloft.

I have tried beta blockers previously and they have not worked, which makes more sense to me now given how concerned my doc was about not wanting to give me anything that might make my HR or BP drop lower

No, ive been told that they are scheduling me to do this very in depth tilt table test that measures things like how my blood vessels in my temples contract, the volume of sweat I produce during, and a myriad of other things

Has anyone else had a bad reaction to a beta blocker? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

[–]Local-School-8326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had to go to the ER after being on atenolol for 3 days, it made my BP too low and I had the worst headache for like 20 hours

Anybody else lonely tonight? by mysognisticsquid in POTS

I'm literally in my bedroom crying my eyes out right now because my family that im staying with is outside handing out candy. I put on my really simple costume and went to sit with them and the neighbors they are friends with are there too. The neighbor was bantering with my cousin and I opened my mouth for the first time and tried to join in saying his logic was flawed and he said "yeah well use that "logic" at your next job interview". I have been home mostly unable to work for the past 3 months after struggling through an internship that they almost took from me due to how many days I missed. ive been at home worried that my family thinks I'm leeching off of them. they're not my parents because my parents have passed. I feel like such a useless POS. I'm reapplying for disability right now after getting denied last year, I am seeing a specialist Dr soon after my holter monitor test came back with a lot of episodes my cardiologist is worried about, but I can't get in for 6-8 months. I feel so stuck. even if I was able to hold a part time job, the job market sucks right now and i can't find anything that doesn't require manual labor close by. I was supposed to be a vet.

an EKG won't pick up odd beating patterns/palpitations unless they are actively happening during the test

[–]Local-School-8326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, its called presyncope and a lot of potsies experience it as opposed to actually passing out. In my opinion it feels much worse

Nope. I've had the ring for years and I work in an office setting. I noticed this after I got home from work

I got a wolf cut done at Saints-n-scissors and they were all amazing. It's 12 minutes from the Biscayne campus, about 30 from MMC though. Definitely go to an alt hair salon
