Pots And Uncontrolled Blood Pressure -- Doctors At Loss, Feedback Needed

[Ash]

Mine seems to get higher as the day goes on too. Initially it drops lowers then my AM reading but then once I get to a certain point it starts to climb. I have always assumed it was POTS related but am not sure why. I am going to go an see my cardiologist this Friday and was going to ask about checking my hormone levels as it is really the only blood test over the last 3 yrs I haven't had done...I will try and get a better answer out of him. He isn't a POTs specialist but at least knows a little about it. I am also going to ask about a small leaky valve he dx me with last year and said just to watch and no Tx was needed I am beginning to think maybe we could fix it and see if it helps? Insomnia is probably one of my top five worst symptoms and actually if I could pick just one to get rid of it may just make the final cut : ) I hope yours is being controlled some by medications, I tried ambien for a month and although it helped some it really only gave me a few good hours and then I would be up..although Benadryl doesn't completely knock me out it at least helps some and after two nights without having any I have finally realized how much...dang heart racing in the middle of the night, every little noise and feeling like I am spinning without moving , oh and having to pee every hour doesn't help much either take care lynnie
