hayley Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 hey,ive just got out of hospital after two weeks. I was having problems with balnce,speech and walking and cooordination.And also i had facial numbness, and exhaustion.The doctors couldnt find out why.My eeg came back abnormal but they werent concerned.Anyway then i actually realised that maybe its the pots. I guess ive never taken pots seriously,silly me.I was doing alot better then i suddenly lost all concentration and went down hill but i ddint have my usual pots symptoms where i feel faint.Thats what i thought was odd.Anyway could someone tell me if this can happen with pots and its about time i took it more seriously.sorry for being so brief my brains not working.take careh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferInOhio Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hi ~ have they tested you for multiple sclerosis? With an MRI or spinal tap? The part with balance, walking and speech kind of concerns me. I know people with ms can have POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 hayley--sorry you have been feeling poorly again. I assume they did a lot of testing to rule out serious, progressive neurological disorders--and all of that came back negative? All of the symptoms you describe are possible to have with POTS, but if new symptoms come on, it is really important to have them evaluated, as you did.Are you on any meds for POTS right now? Do you have a doctor who is working with you on managing your POTS?Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hi,I have these symptoms but I don't know if they are caused by POTS or something else. My EMG was normal and I had no further testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayley Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) Thanks for replying.I had an mri done which was negative.The symptoms just concerned me because i never had them before.. I also keep falling over alot.And my right eye feels like something covering part of it and is blurry.I hope to find an answer one day. I am not on any tablets at the moment.thanksH x Edited November 12, 2005 by hayley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm sorry to hear you've had such a rough time. I hope you start feeling better soon, or at least they can figure out what's been going wrong. It's got to be something .
