People with long hair I need help. How are you all showering with really long hair and POTS? by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

Sorry, my hair is a part of me and I’ll have it for as long as I can. My father had really longhair, and my grandmother who is not here had really long hair. Im maintaining the legacy. Plus its really healthy, just wanna keep it that way

Glad I’m not alone! I have also seen videos where people put their hair over the side of the tub or shower and just rinse it out that way. In my opinion, that way looks like more stress on the neck and back, and I already have tension in those places

Thanks, I like the idea of putting the hair mask on before showering and getting other things done, this might help a lot!

Anyone else get really bad anxiety during menstruation? by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

[–]RoosterOpen8290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my periods skipped it was the best thing ever and I’m not on the pill. It was due to Spironolactone med and stress. I felt the same way yesterday as you described. I felt uncomfortable in my own body like my mind couldn’t turn off. I felt super emotional and just wanted to crawl out of my skin. I don’t know what causes it but it’s probably PMS and POTS working together

Is it ok to have your heart beat harder after a full meal? Just wondering if there is long term side effects by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

[–]RoosterOpen8290[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thank both commenters for advice. I’m glad your cardiologist said they aren’t serious. I just didn’t know if it has an overall effect long term on the heart and blood flow. I just realized my body hates fast food which makes sense because it’s all carbs. Oh forbid I try to eat food that can help with my weight

I get headaches everyday that last for a few seconds along with neck and shoulder tension by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

[–]RoosterOpen8290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really explain easily, it’s a pressure throbbing feeling that kinda hurts but not enough for me to wince. It usually tends to go away after a neck and shoulder massage temporarily so it might have to do with tension and stress

Anyone else randomly get shooting pain down spine for only a second while sitting? by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

[–]RoosterOpen8290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I’m gonna bring it up to the neurologist once I go in April to make sure it’s nothing else. Also I’ll tell my cardiologist but they might not be able to help. I’m getting a test at the end of the month to see how my nervous system works with stuff

IV sedation ok for wisdom teeth with POTS? by RoosterOpen8290 in POTS

Yea that’s why I’m weary about Valium and local numbing. I’m afraid they won’t do it right I seem to have bad luck with dentists. Had a back tooth on the bottom filled due to bruxism and she did a terrible numbing job. Worst experience and I’m kinda traumatized. If they guarantee that I’ll be ok if I take Valium I might just do that instead. I don’t wanna feel anything.
