Jaime Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I was just wondering if anyone knows any good doctors in Michigan that treat POTS? My cardio doc really isn't taking me seriously and it seems like a lot of the time when I am having a POTS problem he will just tell me to go see my family doc who knows nothing about POTS. I am getting really frustrated because every time I go to see a doctor they refer me to someone else and I never get any answers. I have been sick pretty much nonstop since Christmas and no one can give me any good answer or help. So if anyone know a good doc that treats POTS in Michigan I would really appreciate it if you'd let me know!! By the way, has anyone been on Indural? My family doctor just put me on it to try and prevent migraines and also because I have been so tachy, but it is making my bp very low.

Goblin Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I am seeing a cardiologist- Dr. Ching Man. He is a heart rhythm disorders specialist. I was referred to him when my first cardiologist felt overwhelmed with me. He seems to know a lot about autonomic disorders. He works at the Northpoint Heart Center in Berkley, Michigan. I had to be referred to him though after I wore a cardiac event monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Sawicki Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I don't think Sid Gliman treats POTS...I think he is more into MSA. I've seen Dr. Russell at UofM. He tested me for everything under the sun when I went to see him. I think I talked to Dr. Rogers on the phone awhile back...(if I'm remembering the right doctor) he seemed nice, but I've never personally seen him as a patient.Here's Dr. Russell's contact info:Dr. James Russell4410 Kresge III200 Zina PitcherAnn Arbor, MI 48109734-936-9020If you've been to UofM, he's in the Taubman Center. He used to have a really nice resident working for him, Ryan Kaplan, but he moved on. Best wishes,Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scamelo Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 If your not far from Cleveland in Ohio, ( Not sure where in Michigan you are) you may want to check out the Cleveland Clinic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
