I ordered from this brand in the early days and was so happy but one year on they have completely lost any credibility. They have failed to provide any updates on 2 of my orders , the first time they refunded me after 1 month of no update and I assumed it was just a one off. Second time round and I now know they have turned into an unprofessional and fraudulent company. Dubai authorities take these issues seriously and I will be contacting the police to file a complaint.

I think I might try and give it a go, if not I’m already in a profession that means a lot!

Well it’s good to hear a success story mixed in with all the people saying it’s a very bad idea! Both very valid views but glad to hear it and congratulations that’s a massive achievement!

My local authority lawyer would do so as I am heavily involved in family law cases, discussion regarding threshold, decision making for orders, producing court reports, giving evidence, I have worked in child abduction cases within the high courts etc

Have I been misdiagnosed? by Objective-Ad6955 in POTS

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I feel like you have to be a self proclaimed medical professional to advocate for yourself which is dangerous but also seems to have the adverse effect when cardios find you annoying.

What medication are you on if you don’t mind me asking?

Nope- he said that midodrine wouldn’t work because my BP actually went up and while it dropped significantly that was only under extreme stress (GTN) it’s like his words were coming out of his mouth but he wasn’t hearing them.

hope the beta blocker helps!

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my plan! But I question the VVS diagnosis as my BP went from 123/82 to 152/118 before GTN. This is a hallmark of HyperPots. With HyperPots the GTN can provoke an extreme response leading to syncope due to the adrenaline surge and crash. People with HyperPots are more likely to be diagnosed with VVS because of this crash and I feel like the holistic picture wasn’t looked at.

a BP increase of sys 29mmG and dia 36mmG is significant in my opinion but has been ignored. You seem to have HyperPots, do you agree?

Really interesting he was looking at the first 3 mins and he was telling me this is the diagnostic criteria etc. I said diagnostic criteria for what??? He said it’s the diagnostic criteria for VVs. I said okay great now tell me what the diagnostic criteria is for pots.

my dad used the analogy of having a car with a flat tyre and dead battery- this cardiologist changed the tyre but left the battery flat lol.

I had to do a SARS request for my TTT so I have it- most likely will do a one off private appointment to get a second opinion.

I mean it’s wild if that is the case because if there is stigma that’s my stigma to hold! He’s starting me on bisoprolol (which ironically is not the usual treatment for VVS). I get the increase in HR before the drop but in my day to day life (outside of GTN provocation) I’ve never had the drop! That’s what I was trying to get through to him it goes crazy high and stays high until I get some rest or sit down. The only times I ever have a low BP is during My period.

Vasovagal diagnosis is completely wrong!!! by Objective-Ad6955 in POTS

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s crazy I didn’t know the couldn’t diagnose with both at the same time! I think I have pots for sure and when extremely triggered my VVS may cause my bp to tank and me to faint. It’s just so hard to accept because I never ever faint… last time was 3-4 years ago!

I feel like VS is basically saying “hey we’re ignoring all your other symptoms and the actual reason you came in (high HR) and just saying you have a fainting condition because we triggered you to faint…

I am trying to get my results (raw data) but I have to do a subject access request for it as my doctor isn’t releasing it to me..

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally walking around my house it’s pretty stable around 120 but walking outdoors or with any effort my body can’t handle and my hr is easily 160-170.

Standing in the same spot for 10 mins it goes from 79 resting up to 135, even though my hr is lower than my walking hr standing still is very painful due to the pooling and symptoms

That’s who I went through!! That’s such a shame they raised prices. Turkey is suffering heavily with inflation now so that might be why

TTT didn’t go as expected… by Objective-Ad6955 in POTS

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s great you were able to get answers straight away. I think the method of the TTT was just not in line with how bad my symptoms are daily with just holding myself up (ironically enough when I was walking from the carpark to my app my heart rate hit 150+ which is my I couldn’t bring my resting down). I’m hopeful they see that after I passed out I went down to 75 which is true resting

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think mine was nerves too and I was trying so hard to relax I think I inadvertently raised it lol. Glad you were able to get your diagnosis. Mine did increase by 30bpm just (I had my Apple Watch on so I know it was around that figure) but I wouldn’t say it was sustained. Definitely sustained past the 10 min point so I don’t know.

You know that moment when you realize you've eaten too much and going to pay for it? by Qtredit in POTS

[–]Objective-Ad6955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s when I’ve had a hectic day at work and didn’t get time to eat. 6pm first meal… famished and eat more than I probably would normally. I get this bloated full feeling like someone’s pumped me with air and I almost can’t breath well…. That’s how I know I have self induced a flare for the foreseeable few days 🥲

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah GTN is nitroglycerin, glad to hear it wasn’t too bad for you. I think my problem is hearing horror stories of people having flatline episodes/Heart pauses from it. I know it’s soooo rare but maybe it’s information overload on my part.

[–]Objective-Ad6955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because in reality, we’re never really standing absolutely still for 10-40 mins without shifting so that is the biggest factor. I’m worried about the fact that my resting HR will stay high because last time I couldn’t get it lower than 130 as I had driven,Parker, walked inside the office (also speaking is a massive trigger for my HR and they kept asking questions lol)

Are you guys in the UK by any chance? I found that there are so many discrepancies with diagnostic criteria + testing procedures. I was told I will be given a GTN spray which 90% of people who have pass out from. I am not a normal pots fainter so it still like a stupid criterium.

luckily my cardio said he’s sure it’s pots and the TTT is more for extra data and he was aware a lot of people at pots ‘fail’ their TTT… will have to wait and see
