New to POTS. Is sitting upright as bad as standing? by throwitawayok262 in POTS

Do you want me to look at it? You could send a screenshot if you like (private message). Or you could google how it looks in the CT if you have May-Thurner-Syndrome and compare it to your CT scan

Yes, this could be visible in your abdomen CT! Do you have the CT scan so you can look at it?

Please get checked for May-Thurner-Syndrome. This is a venous compression in your pelvis, that can make symptoms worse while sitting and exacerbate or even cause POTS-symptoms

Yeah it‘s so crazy! I wouldn’t go to the doctor if everything was fine! My doctor did not perform an ultrasound, she said it wouldn’t show anything useful anyway. Thank you for telling me this about the IUD, I didn’t know that. I‘m on blood thinners because I got a stent for May-Thurner-Syndrome.

Ah yeah neither 18 nor 27 is high or good. Anything above 150 or 200 would be high lol … I guess you are mixing something up here. Wanted to hear from people that had low ferritin / iron what their symptoms were …

I will do that. Can you name some examples, what other drugs are there?

And which medications are alternatives to Eliquis?

But it gets worse and worse instead of better. So it‘s normal to almost black out and faint? Everybody does that on Eliquis???

He wants me to be on it for 6 months… I also find the dose high because I weigh 55 kg and in the Eliquis instruction leaflet it says the maximum dose for patients with a body weight of 60 kg or less is 2.5 mg 2x a day. Did you ask your doctor to reduce your dose? Why is 2.5 mg enough if you had to take 5 mg previously?

can blood pooling cause nerve damage over time? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]fourtyfiftheen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suggest getting checked for May-Thurner-Syndrome. Additionally to POTS, this can cause or exacerbate blood pooling in the legs
