kisekis Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 excuse me for posting it.since i was a child (more than 10 years) ive experienced lots of palpitation. and sometimes i get palp, sound blood rush, blackout from sitting/lying to standing. lately i read about POTS and try to measure with HR monitor i get rapid 30, 40 bpm+ increase from lying to standing. notice some dizziness/blood rushing feeling. but the increase HR lasted for 2 minutes more or less and then lowering. however i couldnt measure the BP. the thing is i dont get this all the time. i get this symptoms when my condition got worse, after eating (sometimes/certain foods), lack of rest.and i dont get passed out when standing and there are times when i dont get problem standing, walking.also when symptoms flare up i get rapid excessive increase of HR from only changing position on bed/slightest movement, activities.i need opinion could i have POTS?if i might have. could someone help find paper/article seems credible that can reinforce the diagnosis to the doctor who doesnt know about it. thank you for whoever reading and posting. id really appreciate it. hopefully there will be some people who could give me inputs.

MomtoGiuliana Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi kisekisDINET's website contains links to many articles and other reference materials about POTS that might be useful to share with a doctor.Perhaps start with this:http://www.dinet.org/index.php/information-resources/pots-place/pots-overviewThe symptoms you describe are consistent with POTS but please keep in mind we cannot diagnose you on this forum. I hope you can find a doctor willing to explore this as a possibility or better yet a physician who is already knowledgeable and able to make a correct diagnosis.

galatea Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would ask your doctor to refer you to have a tilt test which is the only way it can be confirmed and diagnosed. I had to change doctors several times before I found one that would refer me, so if they refuse, really insist, and if necessary try another doctor.http://www.potsuk.org/ This website has a section on pots for doctors.

kisekis Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 the problem is i cant find any pots specialist here. thats why i ask for the article that seems credible to show to the doctor. i did record the event with video cellphone and hr monitor.also since many people here experience and have knowledge about pots i ask the opinion about my symptoms.

Katybug Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Kisekis,If you are comfortable sharing it, sharing your city and country may allow one of our members to tell you of a doctor in your area that is familiar with pots and other forms of dysautonomia.
