Anyone Else Feel Like Pots Builds Up To A Point In The Day Then Improves?

[ramakentesh]

Ive often noticed that my POTs seems to build up to a bad point at a certain time of the day and then improves? anyone else?

Sometimes it's that way for me, too. Seems to coincide with the childrens bedtime - they go to bed and I suddenly feel better. lol. Joking aside, I have clusters of days like you descibe, but it's not how it always is. I've wondered if it has anything to do with my cortisol, or something related.

Im all over the place right now. There's only a slight logical trend that I feel better at night but unfortunately not so tonight. Are you sure its not just that you're feeling bad until evening comes?

[puppylove]

Not for me. I could wake up feeling good and start to feel bad or the other way around.

[ramakentesh]

Cool. No its just a build up to symptoms around lunch time then improvement - but with reoccuring symptoms if I over do it.

The majority of the time I feel better in the morning and hit a wall at 5pm. That's not to say I feel good until 5pm, I don't, but I'm more fatigued at 5pm and that is like a cascade after I get fatigued

I feel okay when I wake up, but then fight my way through until after lunch. Half of the afternoons I'm much better, and half are having odd lead-body-like symptoms. Then by the time supper gets here, I feel just fine the rest of the night. Mornings are my worst.

I feel the worst from when I wake up until mid AM. Typically I feel better as the day goes on and feel best in the early evening.

I feel bad when I first wake up...then I start to have bright periods as the day goes on waxing and waning.....early evening until about 10 pm is when I feel best.....then all crap breaks loose when I settle in to sleep.....arrgh.....

I seem to hit some sort of a wall around 3:00 p.m. and then sometimes I'll get a second wind in the night time and not be able to go to bed until around 2:00-3:00 a.m. Then I usually sleep till about 8:00-9:00 and get up and start again. It's not enough sleep - but, my body just won't let me have any peaceful, restful sleep. It's very frustrating. Then you're tired the whole day. I've tried going to bed earlier and my mind won't turn off. So, it's really no use, unless my body and brain are ready to shut down for the night. LOL

My day usually looks like a bell curve. The low parts of the bells are the low points of my day, morning and evening. I start to feel decent around 10 am and start going back downhill around 2 pm. Noonish is usually the peak of the bell and I try to plan most of my "must do" activities around this time.

Rama, my symptoms are bad from about 8 am to 1pm and then start improving to where I feel my best at about 7 pm. Like you they build all morning and peak around noon. My take on this is that it has to be related to hormones.

First hour of the day I am always good, gradually go down hill with the day.

[HopeSprings]

My racy, adrenaline, chest/heart symptoms are bad through the morning, then improve, but other symptoms hang around all day.

[RichGotsPots]

My take on this is that it has to be related to hormones.

I agree, hormones flux thought the day, usually peaking in the morning for some. Could be we have dysfunctional hormones but our bodies each handle the response differently, that's what accounts for the variability of symptoms among us at different times. I wonder if you put our hormones on a bar graph and monitor them all day would would it look like a musical Equalizer (http://equalizer.seebyseeing.net/) :-)
