MomtoGiuliana Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The section on saline treatment is very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!The only thing that annoys me is the statement" annually affectingaround 500,000. Americans between the ages of 15~50years[3] with a female to male ratio around 5:1."Hmm, so maybe in 7 years I won't have POTS anymore!?Also I know some of us were diagnosed after age 50. Concerned that doctors may not consider it in older people after reading this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tachyfor50years Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks Rama for the link.Momtoguiliana,I read that in a lot of researches and papers, that is really untrue, I am over 50 and got worse in the resent years, that is why my PCP referred me to Dr. Ahern in California after all those years.

L4UR3N Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Proctoclysis is an interesting (though most likely uncomfortable) idea. Home infusions sound fantastic! It might be worth trying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeSprings Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Really good article. Covers most of the POTS theories out there. Actually, it was alarming how many theories there are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramakentesh Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Soime are now looking at central nervous system abnormalities rather than ANS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Funny that they mention that it's in people age 15-50 but then publish it in the journal of GERIATRIC cardiology. LOLThanks for posting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Soime are now looking at central nervous system abnormalities rather than ANSWell those with central apenea know there can be dysfunctions with the central nervous system - not telling their bodies to work right (even to breathe). LOL! Interesting that there are some with POTS too. That would only make sense - why haven't they studied THAT sooner?Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 When you think about it a lot of teh symptoms of POTS are central rather than peripheral. But are the central symptoms the result of ANS or vice versa?? Migraine is a central problem. Many have abnormal cerebral autoregulation as well which is central.
