mama_destiny Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I am just wondering how it "works" for most, when you aren't as symptomatic as your worst days. Does your HR slow down when feeling sort of decently, or does it always remain high, no matter what you feel like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama_destiny Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm asking because today I feel not so badly, and my hr is on the lower end than it has been while I was feeling pretty crummy. 59bpm laying, and 90bpm upon standing, so all in the normal range. A couple days ago I had my TTT, and my HR was 124BPM the entire 20mins while tilted up. Is this normal for POTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Sounds normal for my personal version of POTS. My HR is highly variable (sorry for the pun). Some days it'll be running high and other days it's pretty normal. My symptoms may differ between high and normal HR days, but I frequently find that my HR and BP do NOT correlate with how my symptoms are behaving on any given day; nor do they correlate with how I'm feeling on given day. One of the MANY frustrating aspects of POTS and life as we POTSIES know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picaresque Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 My "normal" is 50s resting and 80-90s standing, with little in the way of symptoms on some days. When I'm most symptomatic, I frequently get swing up as high as 160 and low as 40s. The days where I have the largest range are usually when I feel the worst, but like Chaos, sometimes there's no correlation that I can tell!

kclynn Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 we also noticed no correlation to HR specifically, but lately his rate has been running 100 - 120's plus and he seems to be running down and more fatigued and susceptible to other symptoms.

Mytwogirlsrox Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 My heart rate is always usually between 85 and 110 standing, sitting its 80 to 90 and laying its between 60 and 70 . I'm pretty much always potsy. But I do have adrenaline rushes where my Hr goes up to 150 or so, I could be sitting, standing or laying when this happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm around 75 sitting and 110 standing(if forced to stand longer, it will go a little higher). When I am sitting, I can have days that I feel POTsy, but my vital signs are all normal. I don't know why I feel worse at those times than my numbers indicate.
