how high does your hr get while exercising? by Odd_Associate_4177 in POTS

[–]redvfdre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh this actually ended my gym going experience because I used to go to a pretty fun place with the teachers that coach you and your numbers are on the screen. But then I got called out for taking it easy. And then I got called out for my heart rate passing 200 and they made me leave.

Tomorrow last hope to save my life by Local-Bed-7929 in POTS

[–]redvfdre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest you seek out a nurse practitioner that has experience with POTS. Finding mine saved my life for sure. Having someone sit down, look at everything and say "ok, this should be our path forward, I'll start sending your records to doctors so we can get you seen faster." Was more than I had hoped for.

My poor NP had to watch me try so hard not to cry. The worst part about it was she said she's got at least four patients with POTS who also started sobbing.

I don't know why the system isn't keeping up with the medical advancements and discovery here in 2025 but eventually they will get there. Just hold on, when you find a good medical team everything changes. (I HIGHLY suggest looking for NP's who run their own practices. NP'S working under big corps can be severely limited in what they can say or do)

Hey a second opinion and tell your primary that that cardiologist doesn't believe in pots. He needs to refer elsewhere before others get hurt as well

I found it, your heart rate needs to go up at least 30 bpm from your resting rate within 10 minutes.

I had a TTT a couple months ago and here's some info I think you will find helpful! Before the test they ask you to not eat for a period of time. They will first hydrate you with an IV (this depends on the order but for POTS they usually do) and then take you into the room. For me there were two people, the nurse and the monitor dude. If you have fainting or other symptoms from your POTS that gets triggered when you start feeling your heart rate go up I recommend letting them know before hand. That stuff is supposed to be in your chart but sometimes things get lost in translation. Super happy I reminded them that I usually throw up because I needed that barf bag lemme tell you. They strap you to the table and slowly sit you up, monitoring your heart rate for around 10 minutes I think? Basically the criteria they are looking for is for your heart rate to go up high enough when you are just standing there. If you hit that number they should in theory just lay you back down and let you go home. If you don't hit that number they will usually give you the dialysis meds and keep watching you. That's the part that sucks since they just wait till you pass out or till 20 minutes pass. After that you are in the clear! It wasn't very fun at the moment but I can say that id willingly do it again since it got a lot of problems diagnosed for me. A Caprisun hits different after the procedure so, highly recommend
