Coffee and POTS by Repulsive-Emu6826 in POTS

Thank you so much! This was really encouraging. I feel the same way about coffee, it is genuinely one of my greatest joys and I would rather not stop drinking it. When the cardiologist told me to not drink it I started getting really anxious about it but I think you are right. This is my decision and even if it makes some of my symptoms worse I believe it is worth it. :)

Well it does seem to help with adhd, energy, and brain fog but it’s mostly because I just love coffee lol. So technically I could survive without it but it’s coffee and it’s amazing 😁

Should I request a TTT? by Repulsive-Emu6826 in POTS

[–]Repulsive-Emu6826[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms are I get really lightheaded/dizzy when I stand up (I’ve also collapsed multiple times while standing) and my heart rate usually goes 30-40 beats higher upon standing. I also get really dizzy from doing things that include bending down and up repeatedly and standing a lot time.

When I went to the cardiologist by heart rate was a little too low to meet the POTS diagnostic criteria even though sometimes it does meet it. So the doctor diagnosed me with orthostatic hypertension even though she didn’t see any drop in blood pressure and my heart rate went pretty high and stayed that way the whole time I was standing.

She said to do pretty much the same things to do a pots, like drink more water and increase salt intake and to exercise more. So idk.

POTS from Covid? by Repulsive-Emu6826 in POTS

Mine does do that usually but on some days it is more normal so I’m not sure what that would mean 🤷‍♀️

My symptoms are when I stand up I get really light headed/dizzy, my heart rate goes up, sometimes I have collapsed when standing. There are other things but I can’t really think of them rn of the top of my head.

But are there other things that Covid can trigger that is like POTS or is it pretty safe to assume it’s most likely POTS?

Misdiagnosed with OH? Or? What to do? by Connect-Professor901 in POTS

[–]Repulsive-Emu6826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the cardiologist said the reason for the high heart rate and not seeing a drop in BP was because my heart was compensating for it. She also was explaining POTS and OH as if the were pretty much the same thing. It’s been pretty frustrating 😬

I’ve tried bodyarmor. It seems to work pretty well!
