AJVDK Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Can you have all these diffent things and have POTS? or are doctor just grasping for somthing. I been going though my medical records form 2004- till now they have said I have the following:POTS-2005NCS- 2005Paroxtsmal Supraventricular Tachycardia-2004Sinoatrial Note Dysfunction- 2004Syncope-2004 (I think this is just a lable when you pass out)Tachycardia- 2004Sick Sinus Syndrome-2004Low Blood Volume- 2005Rapid Blood Flow-2005Depression-2005 (Mmmmm let me think about this one, they cant make up there minds)Orthostatic Hypotension- 2005I don't know what to belive, I know alot of these are close, I know you can have POTS and NCS, but can you have the rest? To me some of them maybe the wrong dx's. What do you think? I am just trying to get the right treatment to get better, and am getting all the medical records together to find a new doctor for the POTS, part of me thinks don't even bring the records and see what they come up with. Not sure what to think!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Sounds like you have POTS.....all the other things you list are pretty much symptoms or components of having POTS (and Dysautonomia in general). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janineerrn Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi,My list is very similar. You can have ncs and pots. The rest are just symptoms.... just depends on what your heart is doing at the time they test you. Like Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction, your SA node was prob reacting to a potsy episode when they did the ekg or had you on a monitor.I was on an event moniter for 30 days my heart was very creative in its reactions to my adrenal storms, psvt, sick sinus, sa node dysfunction, pvc', pac's, a flutter.....I also have the diagnoses of depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I wish there was a dignosis called angry and want to smack you becuse you dont understand and arent even trying to.I dont pay much attention to my diagnoses anymore, they are just codes used to get insurance to pay them.PeaceJanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferInOhio Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 It all sounds pretty POTSY to me, but I'm somewhat of a newbie to all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortotmom Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yep, it's all pretty much under the umbrella of dysautonomia but pertains to specific sxs as the others stated. Yep, you sure can have that many diagnoses. Here's mine: mitral valve prolapse with severe dysautonomia; tachy-brady syndrome and neurocardiogeniic syncope. That's just part of it....Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Janine, You totally cracked me up. I too have "angry and want to smack you becuse you dont understand and arent even trying to" disorder, very debilitating Amy, Like the others have said, sounds like you have POTS and the rest are just findings related to POTS.

Wufflebear Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yep sounds potsy to me too..I like the "angry and want to smack you becuse you dont understand and arent even trying to" disorder... lol I have that one too....Maybe that is why they don't prescribe canes for us....we might smack them with it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
