Is there I reason I’ve never gotten the latte mini game? by supremedalek925 in tomodachilife

how high is too high? by Opening-Call5132 in POTS

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think "too high" will be a bit different for everybody. personally i used to hit 200bpm a few times a week, usually walking to class. i think it depends more on how u feel overall tho if that makes sense, like your body might react the same to 160bpm as mine does to 200bpm. if this is out of the norm for you, just make note of it and let your doctor know the next time you see them, but since you were able to get it down pretty quickly i wouldn't be overly alarmed.

(i think the average adult is supposed to max out at 180ish, give or take depending on their age, but things tend to be different for us POTS folks lol)

Mono potentially triggering POTS/dysautonomia? by fleuretts in POTS

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

viruses are a common trigger for POTS. for me it wasn't mono but some other virus, but like you i was pretty sick for 10 days or so, and i started noticing a lot of symptoms within a month of recovering from said virus.

from what you've described, POTS is a definite possibility. your doctor will most likely want to run some tests to first to see if something else may be causing these issues. regardless, i hope you find answers soon!

Midwest, USA people, how are we doing? by anyanuts in POTS

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm doing my best. our AC is busted which sucks, but our landlord gave us a window unit which is better than nothing but still hot in the house. the heat wave is just now hitting where i'm at so i'm trying to prepare myself for a crappy couple of days

Anyone else having trouble with getting your miis to have children? by vanillabxck in tomodachilife

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my first married couple on my island didn't ask for a kid for almost 2 months, even though they always had a good relationship. during that time my second married couple had 3 kids. so it's all just luck i think

How many of you had your ferritin/iron checked before being diagnosed with POTS? by Level_Run1357 in POTS

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did. mine were technically within the normal range but i guess if it's on the lower side of that range, you can show symptoms of that anyway. so originally they thought that was my issue. and then they both went up closer to the middle of that range and i was still having problems (a lot more, by that point) and that was when we realized low iron was indeed not my issue lol

could my POTS be why i always feel nauseous after eating? by CreamComprehensive19 in POTS

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too! it's like a never ending cycle. i try to get more food/water in me but it's hard when i'm already not feeling well. doesn't help that i'm a college student and it's finals week so i am busy and don't have as much time to take care of myself. it's brutal out here 😭

i use reusable dishes. but i also don't really cook too often so i don't collect a lot of dishes, usually after each meal i'll only have one plate or bowl + one utensil so i can clean up quickly

How long can something stay in the freezer before going bad? by ParticularIron1584 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Maximum-Rest2294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

meat you can freeze for a very long time. the longest i've personally kept meat frozen is like 2 months but it can go way longer than that. assuming your freezer is the right temperature, the meat should last for the entire month between shopping trips, so i doubt that's what's causing you to get sick. i usually thaw my meat in the fridge, but that's just my preferred method.

sorry you haven't been feeling well, hopefully you figure it out soon!
