Waking Up Palpitation, Adrenalin

[kisekis]

hello im new here. ive been reading some topics here but i havent posted anything cause i wasnt so sure n desperate

anyway, since lately due to my lack of sleep my symptoms got worse i was thinking of posting to get inputs.

was dysautonomia causing adrenaline sensitivity? (i heard from some people) like palpitation tachycardia when sleeping, only from changing position on bed. (its very sesitive/weak only from small exertion) i already took BB (from cardiologist) but it still happens like it couldnt block it that much. after sleeping i get like adrenaline rush (jittery, i dont know how to explain) i dont know why

anyway i havent diagnose that i have dysautonomia but i get some symptoms of it so im still searching info.

back then when i stand up i used to hear blood rush and dizzy and palp, tachy. (lately i dont remember hear the blood rush but the palp and tachy still happens sometimes and dizzy/blackout when im lacking sleep).

i also have many digestive problems and food intolerances. (so i watch my diet) i got cramp so easily and muscle sore, weak. i couldnt use my muscle for such as lifting/pushing/arm wrester only for a short it will ache. i also experience sleep apnea sometimes (throat muscle feels closing the airway). and randomly attack where i stop/forgot to automatically breathing in sleep and then get awaken breathless.

i get some dizziness after riding an elevator.
what confused me is could it be dysautonomia eventhough it didnt happen constantly? (it could get better and worse overtime)
i also expect theres maybe a problem with hormonal.

already tried hawthorne berry, q10, but still. i also not sure if niacin is any good. i only take it sometimes. i also have calcium magesium vit d supplement but the form isnt so good. i take it sometimes along with omega oil.

Your symptoms you describe are consistent with dysautonomia. Hope you can get an evaluation of your symptoms and diagnosis soon.

@momtogiulana: thx for answering. but i dont know where to start feel hopeless. dysautinomia, POTS etc not wide known here. my cardiologist doesnt know about POTS . no one does i guess.
so i just went to my doctor again cause my tachycardia and heart feel like jump out of my chest. when im lying on bed. it was around 138bpm. its horrible n i took BB n wait but it didnt come down for long. tortures me breathless, feel like pass out. i record it only with my omron handheld heart monitor n showed it to the doctor but he said the graphic looks ok. n people who run also get elevated HR but im only on bed n since the caused unknown just can assume anxiety and increase the drugs also add anti depressant eventhough i said its not only anxiety. i hate this malfunction taking over my hopeless self.

Hi kisekis, welcome to the forums!

kisekis--I do understand your anxiety with such symptoms, having experienced these as well. Also one symptom of POTS can be anxiety itself. It sounds like you have been prescribed a medication to lower your heart rate (a beta blocker). I think it can be helpful to document your heart rate and blood pressure over a few days and share this with your doctor so that if needed he or she can adjust your beta blocker dosage, or change it to a different medication if the one being tried is not working. My experience with beta blockers is that they are not entirely instantaneous in lowering heart rate, a few days of adjustment may be needed. Unfortunately, with POTS (if that does turn out to be your diagnosis) it can take some time to figure out what treatment works best. BTW, SSRI's (a type of antidepressant) do help many people with POTS (not all). But if your doctor has prescribed this, it may be helpful in the long term (there is an initial adjustment period where symptoms can worsen).

Perhaps you can bring information to your doctor about POTS from this website.

As far as any anxiety-perhaps it would be helpful to try to find effective means to reduce your anxiety level, as this alone can affect your heart rate and blood pressure. You could try various methods for reducing anxiety, such as breathing exercises, meditation, visualization. These things helped me when I was very sick, to minimize feelings of panic, anxiety, etc.

thank You for the info.

i do already take beta blocker for long.

does ssri different than xanax or valium (and such)? i usually get those.

but i only take it when i need too cause it can cause dependency and side effect.

yes i think maybe i should give article. (though i have some confusion wether i have pots cause from what i read pots patient cant stand up long but i can sometimes although when i stand up i get palpitation, etc) i do ask my doctor if dysautonomia or other cause possible but he seem to brush it off. and think i lack exercise but how can i get palpitation only from change position on bed, sitting, standing. i exercise those activities everyday.

i also read it could be adrenaline sensitivity/sympathetic dominance but i dont know where to start to get diagnose.

i do try to work on meditation cause hoping it can help me.

i do feel traumatized by my sickness. been sick since elementary school. get sent home from school, couldnt keep up with activities, no teenage life. now in myiddle 20 where people around me productively work hard to pursue their future. my body couldnt do the same even have to depend others to help me get somethings done
