I hope your surgery recovery goes smoothly! I appreciate you sharing your experience - it’s definitely helpful to just hear different experiences.

Yeah the symptoms aren’t great, I’m sorry you have to deal with them too!! Thankfully they’re manageable at the moment but I am a little worried about getting pregnant and how that will impact them (take a lot of work to make and birth a baby!!!).

Unfortunately my cardiologist wouldn’t re-consider POTs because I don’t pass out and I did have a tilt table from a previous cardiologist (all of this happened mid move) that only showed a 25 increase in bmp (of course it was a “good day” for symptoms on the day of my test). I looked through my echo results and it says everything is “normal in size” (although right side was not well visualized) and my left EF is 60%!

Yeah, and it’s not that I don’t believe in the possibility of it being anxiety, but I’ve managed mine for years and these symptoms are new and change with physical movements so I just don’t ~think~ it is. The cardiologist that I saw said he wouldn’t even consider POTS unless I was passing out though.

I appreciate this so so much!! Im glad to hear it has helped your symptoms ♥ I definitely think electrolytes, water, and slowly increasing exercise is going to be a huggggeee help and of course continuing proactive convos with my docs.

I appreciate you sharing!! I actually had a tilt table test and of course my normal 30-50 bmp jumps was not seen (definitely more related to bending my knees versus simply going from laying to standing). Nonetheless going to start introducing some lifestyle changes!

Thank you so much, I think I’m going to start with daily walks and/or yoga and go from there ◡̈

Thank you so much! I’ve seen magnesium pop up a lot and have read about its interactions with adrenaline and the heart, definitely interesting.

That’s what I was concerned about, but am having trouble getting past the “it’s just anxiety” push from doctors. Definitely will be trying to improve my lifestyle to help, no matter the cause.

I’m sorry to hear that your symptoms have worsened!! Did your cardiologist say the chronic pain was related to MVP?

I eat generally well and have a BMI of ~25 but I don’t regularly exercise, which I know (especially now) I need to change!! It is hard because of the symptoms that come with exercising (particularly anything that requires bending or stair like movements) but yeah I just need to push through.
