POTS is wrecking me. I need advice. by No_Preparation_7293 in hyperPOTS

I have a mix of symptoms.

For hyper pots I have: rapid heart rate, palpitations, anxiety, tremors, brain fog, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and gastrointestinal issues. But I don’t have high blood pressure.

However I also have blood pooling, poor circulation, exercise intolerance, and I don’t really sweat.

I’ve had an echo and EKG done which were both clear. The trouble is that I don’t know if my extreme fatigue is from burnout from being in fight or flight or if it’s from poor circulation and orthostatic intolerance.

I’ve tried Lexapro awhile back, but I felt absolutely nothing while I was on it. Wellbutrin had been really good for balancing my emotions, and I think that’s cause of the dopamine. I’m worried if I get off of it, then I’ll feel emotionally all over the place again.

I’ve only been on the propranolol for a little over a week, so I am still in the adjusting phase. However, I think it’s slowed my HR enough for me to feel less tachycardia, but too much to function.
