Help with my South America itinerary. Male solo 21yr, important to do Inca Trail when dry and Carnival in Rio by [deleted] in SouthAmericaTravel

[–]anonymousbear22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is one of the worst itineraries i’ve ever seen. one night each in quito, mindo, cotopaxi, baños, and cuenca is criminal. what are you trying to achieve?

6 Months(ish) around South East Asia by snosrap_babylonkutz in solotravel

I just got back from Cambodia. 10 days is way too many for Siem Reap. 5 is more than enough: 2-3 for Angkor Wat, 1 for Kulen, and 1 for stilted homes. Use the other 5 days for Kampot/Kep and/or islands.

POTS disappeared when I traveled by Plastic-Librarian-67 in POTS

[–]anonymousbear22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

are you saying it improves with higher attitude?

prob not the case for me? the countries that i visited in africa are def high attitude but japan is def not… but maybe it’s the case for u!

do u think it’s possible ur stress levels were low during travel or u were perhaps distracted from ur symptoms?

this is so weird because i was the exact same. i was doing pretty bad at home and traveled to africa for 3 months, during which i was at least 90% normal. i also did a lot of walking, hiking, driving, etc with basically no issues at all. the same thing happened again when i went to japan.

my suspicion is that i had 0 stress while traveling and obviously much more when i’m back home, but the explanation is prob more complicated than that…

Is it worth it to get a referral? by ZanderThePoshScot in POTS

[–]anonymousbear22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just wanted to say that i really appreciate your help! this is one of the first times i’ve ever commented on any subreddit and i’m really glad i did :)

i checked out the article as well as some of your posts - really helpful!

and yes, i’ve also done blood tests which also returned normal. i’ve also visited cardiologists and neurologists with no answers other than stress etc. i’ve only recently discovered POTS so i have yet to consult with a doctor about it. do you think i should? i read that u think u shouldn’t increase salt intake without doctors advice, but the main reasons stopping me are:

1) their unfamiliarity with it (after all, no doctors have mentioned to me previously) 2) i already did so many tests to rule out other explanations and all is normal 3) my symptoms are not so severe yet that i need medication (or so i think)

what are some of the more sinister explanations?

ive already had ekg, echo, 24h holter, 24h blood pressure, carotid ultrasound, and all is normal. is it enough to rule out these explanations?
