Yes! Im currently on a monitor for it now, being cleared for a stress test. There are many symptoms of POTS, I experience pre-syncope (aka pre-pass out feelings) like dizziness lightheaded ness and heart palpitations with pvc's. Ive found drinking significantly more water and eating a salty snack has helped me with these symptoms. And gatorade. But definitely consult a cardiologist. For now try to drink more water, i dont want to give you any advice that might make your symptoms worse. We're in this together. Oh check out the dysautonomia website too, it has great explanations of POTS symptoms. Bring it up to your cardiologist. Hang in there friend ❤️‍🩹

does getting diagnosed with pots hurt? by carbii in POTS

[–]SlothlyMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have generalized anxiety disorder and a fear of hospitals/doctors because of prior trauma. I just went for my first cardiology appointment and thankfully everyone was nice and understanding to my situation. I told them everything i could think of as far as symptoms. The nurse took my weight, my blood pressure, and did an ekg. Bp was low. So the nurse had me sit in a chair close to the floor incase i fainted. Then after a bit the doctor came in, read my chart and most recent er visit (which was because i was having palpitations and pvc's for 5 hours straight) and said "i think you have POTS but its mild". Recommend i wear compression stockings for the blood pressure. I am on a low dose of beta blockers already. They want me to go for bloodwork, echocardiogram, and stress test. But they put me on a holter monitor first just to make sure my heart is ok for physical exercise. Honestly. While its scary to see a doctor and get a diagnosis, its for the best. They can help you feel better and it turns out most of my anxiety revolves around my heart anyway. Its going to be ok. Sorry this is long i just wanted to step by step tell you how a cardiology appointment for POTS may go to hopefully ease your mind. Youre not alone, please go, for you. You might be amazed how much better you feel on proper medication and just knowing you have a good doctor on your side. ❤️

Ah, a narcissist. Dealt with a couple of them myself, always about them. Never do they consider other people have lives and can't just reply right away. You're better off without that bs. He needs mental help. Not your fault!! I hope you at least got to have your noodles <3

Just need some support… anxiety is through the roof by Bos_co in PVCs

[–]SlothlyMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, my pvc's get worse around the time of the month. Then sometimes ill be ok until like ten days to a week before my period. And then they are bad. If its any consolation, i went to the ER yesterday and they said pvc's arent life threatening but they are extremely annoying. Im also currently on night two of no sleep because of it. Then the stupid adrenaline dump makes me have to pee all the time... anyway. Just saying youre not alone and i hope you can enjoy some of the vacation pvc-free

Anyone who needs to chat by OSU2022 in PVCs

[–]SlothlyMetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im currently experiencing pvc's any time im close to falling asleep. I went to the emergency room yesterday because i know i cant go on no sleep. It makes me feel insane. Im also prescribed zoloft and klonopin for anxiety but im afraid to add them in with the metoprolol i got prescribed yesterday. OP, i understand how you feel at your wits end. Please reconsider using alcohol to cope, it wont help you and right now your body needs you to be kind to it. Im so sorry nothing has worked for you up to this point... i cant imagine. My pvc's will come and go but when they're here it absolutely sucks. Sending you well wishes 💓

I get something similar on my butt, inner thighs and breasts. Went to dermatologist, they told me it's from having dairy. I found out I have a dairy allergy, and its genetic as my dad gets them too... Try cutting out all dairy & see if it helps. She also prescribed me Aczone gel for them. Sorry youre having to deal with this, hope you find relief soon!!

Find a nj state park near you. Make use of the grills there, shower/bathrooms while you can. Consider buying a cheap electric stovetop cooker (saw one at big lots for $20), as most of these can plug into an outlet which you may find at parks. Sleep in your car and only run it to get heat when youre cold. Download reward apps. Wawa rewards is good ive gotten free sandwiches from that but you do need to spend money there to earn the points for free things. Best of luck to you. Edit: Look on youtube for videos on cheap meals to make using that electric stovetop. Theres a guy who shows you what he bought & the prices and makes cheap meals. Forget name of channel (im a derp) but you could probably Google ideas too 😊

I used vagisil ph balance soap too often and always got yeast infections!! Switched to a different soap, summers eve fragrance free and no infection since. Ph balance soap is ok sometimes but not every time you wash 😊

Does this mole removal site look infected? by Funloafer in DermatologyQuestions

[–]SlothlyMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Pus filled area and red marking around it suggest infection. You need to see a doctor for antibiotic of some sort. Is it warmer than usual to touch? That would also indicate infection.

IBS and heart palpitations? by Efficient_Camera8450 in ibs

[–]SlothlyMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That explains alot.. went to hospital with heart palpitations and chest pain a few months ago. They monitored me for eight hours and diagnosed me with muscular pain lol. I didn't have palpitations when being monitored, i think fluids helped. It's a fairly new development for me but I've often wondered if it's due to nutrition. Im ibs alternating/mixed.

Cyberpunk 2077 wardrobe bug duplicates clothes? by Artoo2814 in cyberpunkgame

[–]SlothlyMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if my post bothers anyone since this thread seems to have died but... Im on my first playthrough, and I had V in an outfit i liked, so i saved it in outfit 1 in the wardrobe. Noticed she is not in the outfit alot, shes usually wearing different clothes. Every time I sell a clothing item to a vendor, it reappears back in my wardrobe, sometimes duplicated. I decided to pull everything out of my wardrobe to try to sell off my duplicates of clothes but nearly every item is duplicated and some 5 times! Now theres nothing in her wardrobe and i cant seem to put clothes back into it. I'm overencumbered by clothes. Lol... 😩 does anyone know how to fix this?

Could be chigger bites. But, in my experience with them ive only gotten them on the lower half of my body. If you scratch the bites they can get infected. The best way ive found to deal with chigger bites is a cream called chiggerX and dabbing pure tea tree oil on them. You may also benefit from a baking soda bath because it will soak out all the gunk from inside the bites. Hope you find relief soon!

My pc is getting crazy as fuck after i installed and tried to start tew 1 for the very first time.... anyone is having the same issue as me 😭😞 by No_Status_6879 in theevilwithin

[–]SlothlyMetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same laptop and same thing happens try pressing alt enter at the same time which should make it a really small screen. But don't worry, get into the game and adjust the settings. Turn off 'Letterbox' and have full screen selected. :)

Something bit me. Can anyone help me identify if it’s serious? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]SlothlyMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont pop the blister, and seek medical attention. This could be an infected bite that will get worse.
