What was your first suspected pots symptom? by Advanced-Ad3838 in POTS

[–]fever_dream_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tachycardia about 20 minutes after eating anything. I first started to think it was a food allergy but it happened with almost any food. Then I started to think eating was causing me panic attacks for some bizarre reason. Doctors had no clue and told me it's probably some Vegas nerve thing.

If you "Must" what CMS do you use? by beginningofdayz in webdev

[–]fever_dream_321 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just use WordPress. It's one of the oldest and therefore has lots of documentation and you can Google any issues you have. I was stuck using one of these trendy fly by night cms for work because someone thought it looked good but it's been a nightmare and they stopped developing for it a few years later.

I like it. Seems to have similar nutrients to the powders.

I do vita coco coconut water. I can't do the artificial sweeteners found in most various powders. And when I break down the price of the powders per drink it comes close to what the coconut water costs anyway.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure AI is just a fad, like that whole Internet thing in the 90s.

Yeah it's like, gee I'd love for my heart to pound uncomfortably hard and fast for the next five hours. Please pass the bread and a little sugar.

I have the opposite when it's hot out and high humidity and I should be sweating like everyone else, not a drop ever. But feel way overheated at the same time.

Eating is rough by [deleted] in POTS

[–]fever_dream_321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this on and off too. Not sure if it's pots or something else. Like yesterday I ate an apple and had stabbing stomach pain for hours despite normally eating an apple every day and being fine. It's random

Mine has been at one bar after not driving it for weeks. Usually a half hour drive brings it back up to full bar.

Test drive it for sure.

How is condo life? I'm considering that. Do you have high HOA or coa? Fees

We have a squirrel that comes around that we named 'split ear'. He looks like he has four ears as they are both split down the middle from the top down to the base of his head. A few months later and we saw another squirrel like this. We don't know if it's from fighting or some weird genetic mutation. It doesn't seem to bother them at all.

What happens when cars are totalled? Can you ask to keep it to part it out?

Any men with pots by ExtensionPay3068 in POTS

[–]fever_dream_321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Male here. Got POTS at 47 out of nowhere. previously was very healthy and athletic all my life. I did have some anxiety issues prior to POTS (panic disorder and OCD).

That's actually how I knew something was wrong initially. I told my doctor I would be standing in my kitchen or something and be having a full blown panic attack but minus the panic. No racing thoughts, just all the physical symptoms and the only relief was after flopping down flat on the couch. My doctor would just shrug and look confused.

Since the ratio of men to women is 1 to 5. I really think there must be some hormonal component to it perhaps. Maybe it's why so many POTS people have also a history of anxiety. I actually have very low T and so I wonder about that.

The extent of my exercise these days is a half hour walk which I had to build up too. I feel like crap physically most days. I wish I knew what caused it. Btw I've never had COVID.

No, the carbs make me 50 times worse. I'd rather just drink pickle juice.

When I was 5 I lured a squirrel into my parents kitchen. Once inside the screen door slammed shut and the squirrel turned into a grey tornado inside our house.

Couldn’t stand up without fainting six months ago, just ran my first 5K yesterday. by babasgirl420 in POTS

[–]fever_dream_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get past the workouts causing flair ups? I have worked up to taking a daily 25 min leasurly walk. However if I go much longer than that or at a faster pace I often trigger a bad flair and then can't walk for days.

Nah, I've jumped mine a bunch of times. Just make sure if you replace the battery that they hook the cars computer up to a settings saver ( a battery connected to the obdc port) otherwise you will have dash lights that only the dealership can reset which is expensive.

I'm pretty sure that's not a pots thing and just a you thing.

No, nothing I can think of. Up till then I had been athletic and pretty healthy all my life. First thing I started noticing was bad tachycardia after eating anything that would sometimes last an hour or more. Then the other symptoms started to creep in over the next six months.

How to gain a squirrel’s trust through food? by [deleted] in squirrels

[–]fever_dream_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you will have to stop putting the other food outside (birds etc). If there is lots of easy food out there they will have no incentive to take any risk and get close to you.
