yogini Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi,I've been feeling extra dizzy over the past few days. Normally threre is some kind of explanation for my dizziness - stress or my period. This time there doesn't really seem to be any reason. I am wondering if it's the rain or the change in weather, since it finally seems to be warming up here in the northeast. Is anyone else feeling it?-Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoGiuliana Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 YES--but my period is about to start...it is a little worse than usual. But, remember, POTS can be very variable, for all kinds of reasons.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm in MN but the change in seaseon, ie., sun up earlier with long bright sunny days and warmer days is making me much more lightheaded and nauseas. Also could be that my daughter rises with the sun and my sleeping pattern has been non-existant, so maybe not just the change of season but the changes of routine it causes? But I hear ya, it's not fun!- Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm experiencing severe lightheadedness. Although my POTS is up and down, it's rare for me to have such a huge increase in symptoms... and when I do, I can point to a specific cause. I'm hoping it's the change in season. I know that in the past I've felt really lightheaded right before a thunderstorm. Part of it may also be that I went from 1/4 pill atenolol in Dec to 1 pill in Jan. Although this is a ow dose, I think it's more than I need and lowering my BP...although I have been on this dose for 4 months now. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try reducing it for another few weeks. Hopefully whatever it is will calm down soon because I'm supposed to hop on a plane next Friday...midodrine is helping some...keeping my fingers crossed...
