Sam123 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Dear all, Is there any way to contact doctors that are interested in POTS and are willing to help online? I want to send my measurements and symptoms, so that they could help, given that, here no body can help in diagnosis of this issue. Thank you in advance.

Clb75 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I can imagine that medical resources are limited given the ongoing conflict in Yemen where you are. Have you thought about the international red crescent society? They have doctors on staff and may be able to contact someone by phone in a different country on your behalf. Are you able to access a general doctor? They may have some ideas on how to contact others as well. Good luck, I hope you’re able to find some resources.

angelloz Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Keep reading information about POTS and autonomic dysfunction. Many actually do better without medication. I became very sensitive to any medication. Moderate exercise helps some depending on your current level of activity. If you suspect any type of mast cell involvement you could try some OTC antihistamines, providing you have taken them before. Google Dr. Afrin and MCAD to check into that.

corina Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 If I'm correct, dr Svetlana Blitshsteyn, who is in our medical advisory panel, is willing to work on line, you can find info on her here: Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried yesterday Atarax (hydroxyzine) and today I feel a big difference. Even the standing heart rate difference is around 18-20 beats. I think I have a sort of MCAD, but I dont have any idea about this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
