Janey Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I mostly get this in the middle of the night when I sleep funny or when I'm too hot, but today I got it after waking up then falling back asleep again on my left side. As I fell asleep I could hear my heart get really bradycardic... very slow, and felt a very strong slow, irregular pulsing in my head. Weirdly it was making my eyes see funny things while I was closed and I had a very bizarre dream like I was high on drugs. Then I wake up... and my head is spinning... I feel nauseous, I can't stand up. Much worse than usual. I mae it downstairs and try to pour out my water and make some breakfast but I can't complete it. It's like if you're drunk and your head is just spinning round and round.Do you think that this is the result of the funny sleep position/episode and therefore the bradycardia and therefore some sort of chemical imbalance? Do any of you get this?Janey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potsgirl Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I haven't done one yet, but need to. They can tell what your BP and HR and other systems of your body are doing while you're sleeping. I know a lot of POTS people deal with sleep problems....Just an idea.

MamaTrain Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I will get weird heart palps and racing when I lay on my left side at night. It's the strangest thing. I just roll over on my right side and all settles down. VERY ODD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maisie87 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Janey I get this, too. Exactly as you described.I'm trying to schedule a sleep study to figure out what's going on. I get bradycardia when I sleep as well, just recently. Bu this has been happening to be everynight for the past two weeks.. strange. And I don't know why positions matter but I do better on my left side.You're not alone.Please post again if you get a sleep study done, and I'll message you when I finally get mine done, because, from your description, our problems just might be similar.,Maisie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
