MomtoGiuliana Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I heard this story last week and I wondered if she has POTS...http://www.wbaltv.com/news/13246945/detail.htmlKatherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 It looks like she may have just had a transient episode rather than POTS b/c she now reports being at 100%.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 True--however, I know that especially early on, I would have transient episodes, get some rest and then feel normal again. That still can happen to me. Anyway, it just struck me as a possibility when I heard it in the news...Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 i?ve been having episodes of what now seemed to have been some kind of pots (dysautonomia) earlier, and felt normal afer these episodes (duration of about 6 to 12 weeks) too. also what i felt as "normal" wasn't normal after all. i've always been much more tired with dizzy spells and fainting than anyone else, it's just that they could never find out what was wrong with me (so it was said that it must have been in my head . . .)i've noticed that when i read about people having fainting spells i am more interested and think of dysautonomia. i hope doctors will too . . . . . .corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I also notice and get interested corina. The other thing that made me wonder was that she said the diagnosis she was given was a really long name that she couldn't remember...something like that. So that made me wonder about POTS. Well, to be continued, I guess!I happened to see her at a conference last week near Annapolis. Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Katherine, As a fellow Marylander, I thought, too, that she might have POTS. Hopefully, no; but who knows?Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lthomas521 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Or it could be paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, a more common diagnosis with an equally forgettable name. The possibilities are endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
