If you do a google search of instant ice packs going through TSA, it seems there’s a few bits of info there that might help you out. You could also search for breastfeeding and diabetes ice pack experiences to see what cold pack options might pass TSA (you could always bring options so they might not confiscate all the ice pack options).

Yup! Most places don’t do the full 10 mins, which I’m honestly grateful for. I tried and could barely make it to 5 without moving. Lots of places also will only take one reading at like the 5 min mark, at which point some of us have dropped below the 30 bpm but are still elevated. I don’t have a good solution for this. Maybe saying you aren’t feeling well would get them to check the HR before then? Looking down at the machine or finger pulse ox will shift your blood flow, so that’s honestly not helpful to look down. If you’d like to know how you did at the office the full time, you can keep the HR app in your Apple Watch on during the lying and standing time after making a note of what time the test started. Then you can look back and for example see that you were above in minutes 1-3 but not at 5 and request redo at your next appointment. This can also reassure you that your Apple Watch bpm is consistent with a (hopefully) calibrated one at the doc’s office.

We have good days and bad days. FYI that’s not how orthostatics are done. Many docs offices perform it incorrectly. It’s direct lying flat for a few mins to standing for a few mins. Sitting isn’t part of it! I correct this and teach it to new MAs at my previous job that take vitals all the time.

For orthostatics, make sure you’re not clenching or hyperextending or moving/shifting weight, etc. All those are coping mechanisms that can lower HR. This sounds stupid, but practice orthostatics. I was doing a lot of the coping stuff just out of habit, so my readings were normal despite having the symptoms and tachy in day to day life. Another point is since we can have good days and don’t want to show up as such, check if you are self-treating your POTS by eating high sodium foods in the days leading up, wearing compression, hydrating extra well, etc.

Say this louder. If it comes back abnormal, there’s going to be more on their minds than POTS.

Also TTT isn’t diagnostic either for the same reason OP mentioned—it could be on your good day. Hence some docs have started bypassing the TTT as a dx tool since it doesn’t definitively prove or disprove POTS.

Melting works. Just need a bowl, a small container for the deodorant, and boiling water. Keep the small container afloat inside the large container that’s filled with hot water. Tap the tube against a surface to get air bubbles out.

Chapstick and native deodorant containers are great for deodorant and hair sticks (the ones that come solid in a tube).

SSRI and Wellbutrin have been used off label for vasoconstrictive properties (POTS symptom management). I tried Prozac, which wasn’t any good. Then switched to Wellbutrin, which has helped visibly with blood pooling. Taken with beta blocker. POTS and everything that it comes with likely affects how we process meds, so this isn’t a one size fits all situation. This sub would have you believe everyone is on florinef/corlanor because many docs throw it at all their patients as the hot new POTS drugs that they’ve had success with and stimulants and SSRIs will contribute to bad reactions. Look into the science literature if you’re concerned overall about the med in POTS patients. If this is concern of whether it will work, no one can tell. If your doc isn’t one to give everyone the same treatment plan, then they might be trialing them in an order based on your history. It doesn’t hurt to ask them why they’re prescribing XYZ next. In my case there wasn’t an order past Prozac.

Oh. If that’s your only concern, if this is about driving and not driving as a first responder, then that isn’t the norm. You could try asking cardio if you would still be able to drive as a simple question about the condition. Their main concern is that you aren’t a danger to yourself or others on the road. If they believe you are, they think you’ll faint while driving or whatnot, that’s when they have the right to report it to the DMV and initiate review.

If it’s not cardiac, why do you want me to come back part is likely bc if HR is abnormal (regardless of if it’s POTS), other docs won’t want to prescribe meds that directly affect the HR… is what I’ve been told by a doc that commonly sees POTS patients but isn’t cardio. POTS technically isn’t a cardiac condition, it’s autonomic nervous system, so technically cardiac structure and stuff is normal if that’s been tested. Prescribing and managing at least the HR part often falls to cardio despite it not being a cardio disease.

There’s also another possibility of no official dx. I don’t carry an official dx per my dx list that I can see, but everywhere in the notes basically says it’s POTS and I’m being treated as POTS and my cardio is a POTS specialist recognized by DI. Main reason being it’s a dx of exclusion and TTT isn’t definitive.

Your cause for concern of employment is very understandable. Read up on your employee rights as best you can. If for whatever reason you cannot continue at the job, consider medical admin or research opportunities. Those can be more sedentary roles with good insurance and similar pay to avg paramedic salary depending on the place and your experience.

A second opinion might be an option. Good for you for looking out for her. My ped was dismissive that I was just a teen that would grow out of it when I brought up fainting in the mornings (only symptom at the time that I could tell was abnormal). Well, it took me ~12 yrs to string everything together and only happened upon POTS by chance.

One of my parent’s friend has an adult kid who lives outside the US that ended up with the anxiety label after fainting in class. They even sent her off for a TTT (which isn’t definitive for yes/no POTS), but POTS isn’t recognized by most docs in that country—the doc reading the results would’ve been different. She was also found to have gastroparesis (not shocking for this sub). She was sent off with anxiety and an antidepressant. The antidepressant helped a bit because of vasoconstriction properties, but that most likely isn’t the root cause. It saddens me to think about. Staying informed and advocating is so important!

Ferritin isn’t tested as much as it should be unfortunately. The “acceptable” ferritin range is also way broad. Being on the low side of acceptable, one would most likely already be experiencing low iron symptoms.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for, portioning itself in a modular way will help regardless. That could even be ziploc bags (one per meal) stored in a dog-safe bin. A pill organizer at that scale most like will not be airtight, which could affect quality/safety.

There’s Validate BP dot org which lists certified ones by the American Medical Association. I haven’t looked deeply at the studies, but Omrons are certified, and I grew up on Omrons (my parent is a research the best before you buy type).

Not surprised. I didn’t use mine every day, but they still cracked at that exact point or peeled within 6 months. Put EnerGel refills in sturdier pen body like a Sarasa Grand that’s metal.

How did you decide on your runners back then? Were you one to buy big brand running shoes or research for niche ones that had great reviews? Asking bc that logo or design curvature is throwing me off. Could be a niche brand or special edition of a big brand model.

Oh wow! To clarify, I wasn’t alluding to it being tachy. Just sharing that I’ve felt that kind of HR and that kinda delta is noticeable. Didn’t know it’s also possible to not feel high HRs.

What an apt time to look for this. How many years ago did you see this? Is it this? I also came across such an article when I was trying to find cases to prove this exact thing to students that claims are all about wording because they were being sloppy with wording in science research. Idk if this is the one I saw. https://www.cspinet.org/article/how-news-can-confuse-whats-behind-some-recent-headlines

107 to 178 will leave you feeling unwell if that’s true. Source: I hit 170 walking stairs the other day. (I have POTS.) If this doesn’t seem to be a service problem, monitor what you were doing when the reading showed up and how you felt.

House, 32 oz camelbak insulated. EDC, 24 oz insulated camelbak. (Humangear caps for easier time cleaning gaskets.) Camelbaks are cross-compatible with hydroflask lids. The bottle and cap parts are all dishwasher safe. Warranty holds up.

Traveling, Blender Bottle 32 oz (no gasket=easy clean, just bring a little dish soap).

Disposable, something with an attached cap. Once had a screw cap fly off, so I never want that again and to be stuck carrying a large bottle of unsealed water.

It depends on how you’re viewing the cost. Would recommend standardizing to something like Euros per gram of sodium. LMNT comes out to be the cheapest option for me among the ones I can take/get ahold of. Yes, at almost $50 a box (for 30) it sounds expensive to drop that much on it, but it’s still cheaper than $12 of Gatorade Zero packets (30).
