POTLUCK Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Does anyone notice time of day when POTS symptoms are worse.Does this match HRIf HR differs with times, does lying and standing rates both go up (or down) or just one of the two.Last question, if time of day, are you on a RX that could be wearing of or starting to work.

blueskies Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi potluck,There are times in the day when I'm usually feeling a bit better than at other times. Afternoons and early evening is my best time. The worst time is definately the morning and I can have some pretty rocky nights.It doesn't really match hr rate as I can have high hr on exertion or just sitting or lying at any time. if I'm standing up or walking it's all going to be harder. I had a lot of racing heart last night every time I woke, just after posting last night that racing heart, when it comes to sleep time, only happens when I'm dropping off to sleep and wakes me up. The gods must have read that post and decided to change things around a bit - again. grrrrr!And my meds are spaced 6 hourly at the moment. So no changes there -- nothing wearing off or kicking in etc.blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potsy420 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm definately worse when I first wake up. After I take my meds, my HR improves, but I struggle with a lot of POTS symptoms until nearly bed-time around 2-3 AM when I start feeling better.

SeattlePotsy Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I actually seem to be better in the morning and worse in the afternoon and evening...that has always been the case for me and I feel like most people are the opposite.

gjensen Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I start the morning in one of two ways. Mostly, I start with chest pains and a feeling of being over stimulated. I can go the other way, and feel "depressed" (not emotionally). I would have a lot of trouble breathing etc. Occasionally my HR is higher, but usually it is the slowest HR of the day. Regardless, I do not feel especially well in the mornings. Mid day my HR is highest, and my orthostatic intolerance is at it's worse. It settles down, and I am at my best in the late afternoons and evenings. I will push it in the evenings, and it takes a bit to recover. Afterwards, it is my best part of the day. There are always exceptions etc. This is my typical pattern however. It has noting to do with meds. It has been like this on and off any meds.

POTLUCK Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 My pattern is higher in the morning, and lower in the evening. Generally propranolol lowers overall numbers but not sure I feel better on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
