Sarah4444 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 After reading this thread I have so many questions - is mitochondrial disease a metabolic disorder? Exercise seems to make me feel worse in the short term, but forcing myself to continue seems to correlate with mild improvement so far; however, at the same time I have added medications and other changes - how do you know if exercise is helping or hurting overall - do things become clearer with time as symptoms improve a bit? Also, I keep reading about the panic and fear that people experience during POTS flare-ups, and I feel those as well. Of course it's pretty normal to feel those emotions in this context, but I can't help feeling that it somehow seems almost as if some part of the brain responsible for sensations of well-being becomes so oxygen-starved during severe episodes that it adds to the negative sensations.
