Resolved my POTS - AMA if interested


Recommended Posts

Not sure if these kind of "success" posts are allowed here, as they weren't on Reddit. But I will try it regardless, perhaps someone can benefit from any of the information discussed.

 

Profile:

Male 30 y/o (6'9, 210 lbs lean/athletic build, have some mild joint hypermobility)
Symptoms started age 14, diagnosed around age 21, "cured" around age 26).

 

Symptoms:

Severity: HR went from 60 laying down to 150+ standing at my worst. Feet and lower legs turned red/purple upon standing.
Would faint if standing still for too long eventually (lost vision first, then hearing, then eventually passed/collapsed).

 

Current status: 

Basically no symptoms. I can notice the predisposition to POTS/symptoms is still there (if I take a very hot shower you can see my feet turn a bit red from some mild blood pooling, but I don't experience symptoms like I used to).

 

Feel free to ask any questions if anyone is interested.
