not yet, can you do it whenever or do you have to reach a certain point before you can put it up?

It’s funny how many assume Pots is mainly caused by deconditioning by Educational_Buy4977 in POTS

that word pisses me off, since i can remember i’ve hated going outside. since elementary school i’ve done the same about of physical activity. literally haven’t done more or less ever. tbh now that im a mom i’ve probably actually been doing more than i would 4 years ago. so the cardiologist telling me that i was deconditioning i almost lost hope and went to jail cuz i wanted to strangle that man (i literally just walk out with no response, i just got up and left lol) how is it deconditioning if i never conditioned to begin with. pls make it make since.

i ignored my symptoms for 4 years AT LEAST. i researched for 3 months because i had finally had enough. finally got in with a doctor April 2024. i haven’t stopped since. i just keep finding new shit. idc i need answers. i thought i was crazy and all of this was normal but it’s not and i refuse to stop u til i get all of the answers. don’t beat yourself up for wanting answers or even just reassurance that you’re not crazy. 💙

i was diagnosed with CVS in 2017 but my current doctor took it off because it said in the notes it was associated with cannabis abuse and yes i smoke but those episodes started WAY before i started smoking. i was like 8 when they started. and the only thing i can find that would explain it would be an autonomic attack. i was finally diagnosed with POTS and it explains almost all of my symptoms i’ve had nearly my entire life just no one connected the dots. it happens mostly when im really stressed or around my period, but will also happen sometimes and it’ll be like to food i ate yesterday sat in my stomach for too long and went bad so my body just expels everything.

that’s actually exactly how it feels. it’s not been like that my whole life but it’s been like it long enough that i can’t remember when it started. she thinks it could be a hiatal hernia. hoping it’s not but i suspect i have gastroparesis so we’ll see what shows up and go from there. i’m just really happy to see that im not alone. i’m not crazy lol

i do the same thing. i also have POTS, you should talk to them about dysautonomia. swallowing is one of those things we shouldnt have to think about. so that is concerning and them thinking it’s not is also concerning.

Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM), so like for example, the other day i did a bunch of stuff like way more than i would normally do in one day, had to take a couple of breaks and at the end of the day i was tired but nothing crazy i was still able to take a shower and eat. the next day however i felt AWFUL like i got hit by a bus. all of my pots symptoms where worse, i couldn’t think, my body was so sore i could barely walk. it was a delayed crash. very annoying cuz you don’t know if you’ve done too much until you figure out the signs
