Yeak....It seems also when I take my proamatine(Doc lowered it from 2.5 to half a pill) I get so tired after it wears off and have to take nap. Wonder why this is??

ethansmom Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I'm sure it's rough to have to take salt pills, I know I am not a huge fan of salt, and I literally have to dump it on everything now (yuck!!!). I wonder if the Pro-Amatine is making you so tired because once it wears off, your body is once again working double time to try to pump blood upwards? I know that is one reason why POTS patients suffer from fatigue- our bodies are just in overdrive all the time!! My doctor once told me that what our bodies are going through sitting or standing is what a normal person experiences when walking fast or jogging. Just a thought!!

hilfgirl33 Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Welcome Carla!!I think I've talked to you on another board about salt - lol!!! Are you still able to find salt pills? I liked them so much better than table salt, but apparently Eli Lilly discontinued the only kind I could find around here, so I'm stuck with the table salt!! Where do you get yours? I couldn't tolerate Proamatine as it increased my tachycardia so I can't help you with that.Nice to hear from ya,Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
