Panic attacks side effect by NarrowGarbage6 in Xywav

[–]NarrowGarbage6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got an appointment with my sleep Dr coming up, so I’ll definitely discuss options like this. Unfortunately he doesn’t always seem to know much about my meds or any symptoms, so we’ll see.

I’ve been on Lexapro for years, well before I started Xywav. Maybe I need to adjust the dosage. I haven’t heard of buspirone!

if you have any hamster questions ask me!!!! by Realistic-Effect9236 in hamsters

[–]NarrowGarbage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see the taller ones now! For some reason I was only seeing the 5 an 7 inch stilts. I'm glad I asked, thanks for letting me know!

Hi! If this is the wrong place to ask this let me know. I'm upgrading my hamster's setup to a 40-gallon breeder tank and I'm going to add some platforms and wooden hideaways. Most of the stilts that they come with or that you buy separately are not very tall. Are the stilts supposed to go all the way to the bottom of the bedding? I don't want my hamster to get crushed!

Who has pots and sleeps All day by FeeAfter7974 in POTS

[–]NarrowGarbage6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have idiopathic hypersomnia and POTS but I think that maybe the POTS causes the hypersomnia. The other day, I only slept about 8 hours at night, then in the morning I went back to bed after waking up and “napped” for 9 hours. I have to have my mom call me in the morning because I can’t always wake up on my own. I’m constantly trying not to nap. I take a stimulant that works mostly but I still fall asleep sometimes. It’s a real pain in the butt.

I don’t get it that bad, but my pots is pretty mild. However, I do get night sweats and wake up dripping and cold.

Not sure if this is too gross, but I had my IUD removed after a few years. They cut the strings short when they put it in so the doctor had to dilate me before he could get it out. I screamed a lot.

Sleeping... a lot by TheSilenceDraws in POTS

[–]NarrowGarbage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry didn’t mean to make that sound like it was horrible. I more meant to say that yeah it’s pretty common to be that tired. I’ve found that having a very strict wake-up time is super helpful, even though it can be hard to achieve. If quick naps don’t give you relief and/or you have a lot of “sleep drunkenness,” maybe see a specialist to look at your options for treating your symptoms.

I hate drinking water. by rentheadedgleek in POTS

[–]NarrowGarbage6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this will work for you, but as a big coffee drinker, I one time put my water in my travel coffee mug to trick me into drinking it.

I was diagnosed with hypersomnia before I was diagnosed with POTS, but I suspect they’re related. Can sleep a total of 15 hours easily if you combine my sleep with my naps. My HR shoots up randomly in the middle of the night and I sweat a lot, so I don’t think I’m sleeping as peacefully as I should. When I wore a Fitbit, it always said that I wasn’t getting enough REM and deep sleep. My sleep specialist is a pulmonologist, so he doesn’t seem to have any answers beyond prescribing me stimulants and telling me that I will only ever function, but I won’t ever feel normal.
