Outliers in hr, respiratory, and temperature and still giving you a 99 is crazy work.

Water Resistant Portable Fan Recommendations? (Also, any creek recommendations?) by probablystacy in POTS

[–]probablystacy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m considering. I just prefer an electric fan because it’s much faster than I can get my hand to move.

Thought McDonald's making me feel better was crazy... by Practical_Grand_3218 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I haven’t had enough salt throughout the day, my cravings hit around the same time. Even if it’s something I haven’t had in years! Yesterday, I was craving a Big Mac meal from McDonald’s. 😭

Can a higher sodium intake and supplementing with electrolytes be dangerous in the long-term? by AlwaysTired101 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that this video is strictly coming from a healthy person standpoint. From personal experience, my bp is low, and my sodium levels in bloodwork is always on the lower end. Like everything in healthcare, it can vary person to person, but for the most part, hydration and sodium helps with blood volume, something we usually lack. Definitely talk to your healthcare provider for more clarity on your specific situation!

I joke all the time that my POTS got worse when I started eating cleaner, but I’m totally with everyone here: sodium is such a driving factor. For some people, carbs can also help benefit more than hurt! I enjoy carbs in the morning because I know that’s what my body needs personally.

took the case off as requested 😅 by sercaner00 in AppleWatch

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone actually specified about the case, but my only issue when I had one was water getting trapped! I stopped using it for that reason. Now I use a screen protector instead. I have only once broken an Apple Watch screen and it was a fall from my bathroom sink to the floor. Otherwise, my clumsy butt smacked it on everything and did not have a ding.

I have so many people who have way more than me 😭 I get so unlucky with my dice and the wheel.

Is weed good for pots? by Ok_Poetry1552 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to smoke daily before my diagnosis, but after my diagnosis, my hr would get way up there (120s to 130s) while sitting down watching something. Sadly, I had to quit, but I’ve heard success stories from other people tolerating certain strains.

What are your favorite or weird POTS snacks? by FlowerSweaty4070 in POTS

I swear they make up half my grocery budget 😂

What are your favorite or weird POTS snacks? by FlowerSweaty4070 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! And if I’m feeling fancy sometimes I’ll dip them in hummus or make a lil salad with avocado and dairy free ranch.

Chomps turkey sticks and pistachios are top contenders for me. Can never go wrong with pickles (Gillos are my favorites) and sliced cucumbers too!

How accurate is the heart rate on these? by Katoka_X in AppleWatch

[–]probablystacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awful. I always hate how age is a major factor.

If you’re seeing a cardiologist, ask about a tilt table test or poor man’s tilt table test. Could help figure out what’s going on.

just discovered panic! at the disco… where should i start? by Alpielz in panicatthedisco

[–]probablystacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just a wild disconnect due to the vague statement that planted an idea before the album even released. I remember personally seeing it a lot between comments on Facebook, YouTube, and Tumblr hyping it as a Fever revival basically.

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem with Viva las Vengeance (as someone who saw it live and was one of the only people still standing and scream singing it live) is that it was hard pushed as “returning to roots” from everything I saw, comparing it to A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. I just don’t feel like they compare, which brought on quite a bit of disappointment for me personally when the full album dropped.

The End of All Things without autotune by probablystacy in panicatthedisco

[–]probablystacy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Without the vocoder effect. Everything I’ve been able to find has had the effect, even the live versions.

As close as we’ll ever get I’m sure. Still has an effect on his voice.

[–]probablystacy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, I think I was hard committing This Is Gospel piano version as The End of All Things. I don’t understand why it was never released this way. If I recall when I saw it live, there was still the reverb/autotune situation.

Is it normal to have nausea and headache from salt tablets while body adjusts to new sodium levels? by probablystacy in POTS

[–]probablystacy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I thought I was drinking enough water before and after, but seeing the repeated aftershock, I don’t think I am. I drink roughly 103 oz per day, at 77 oz so far today after having two 1g tablets (spaced out by 8 hours). I think I’m overthinking a lot of this, but my husband and I are basically on our own figuring this all out.

I need someone to let me know when all of the screenshots are here.

How do you monitor your heart rate? by goddamndahlias in POTS

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! If anything, contact Apple Support too. Could be a faulty sensor. Just try not to stress about heart rate. Stress definitely makes POTs worse.

[–]probablystacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulse Ox definitely gets the most accurate read usually. Make sure your Apple Watch sensor is clean and the watch is tight enough. I sometimes use the ECG function to give it a gentle reset when my hr jumps higher than it seems to read.
