  1. Hi, I was told I have IBS but I believe I have other GI problems as well.
  2. Hi Rachel, I wonder why your cardiologist told you to take it before exercise. The BB prevents your heart to go fast enough when you exercise to a certain level. I am max out presently when I do cardio because my heart cannot pump fast enough all the blood I need for my muscles.
  3. Hi, I have been taking Metformin for a year now and I have no side effects. I has helped me with the nausea, shakiness and headaches. This med does not cause hypoglycemia reactions and is the one with the less side effects.
  4. Hi, I get numbness but in my 4 limbs.
  5. Hi, It depends what tests they will be doing. It is wiser to stops all meds that you can manage as they will improve your ANS and false the test. They can also interfere with the meds they will be giving you.
  6. Hi, You could be a critic (movie, book), or writer.
  7. Hi, I never got it and will never get it. I prefer to fight the flu when I get it.
  8. Hi, I have 2. One on the wrist and one for the arm. The one on the wrist is not precise at all. Both of them cannot read my BP while I am standing, they write: error. So I can only have my sitting or lying down BP.
  9. Hi, I had a similar problem at the same place. I was first told it was 300$ and then I ended up paying 900$. My personal opinion is that because I pay out of pocket I have no insurance company to control the pricing. It happened again the following visit. The tripled the price after I had paid in full the visit. I don't know what is going there. I see him for less than one hour.
  10. Hi, Not necessarily. You need to have your catecholamines checked to find out.
  11. Hi, I take BB and it's helping me. I am in rehab right now and this is also helping me.
  12. Hi, Do you have a glucometer to measure your blood glucose. It seems that it was caused by hunger.
  13. Hi, I have that and it's caused by food intolerance. You might take a look into that.
  14. Hi, This is ridiculous. Who is he to judge wether or not you are handicap. You got the sticker and you deserve it. I would file a complaint against the employee and contest the ticket.
  15. Hi, Thank you very much for your advice. After reading all your posts I went shopping again and decided to buy a Polar F6. It has a strap but I think I will get used to it fast. The F6 is synchronised to my strap so that when I train with other people with heart monitors I only get my readings. When I got home I changed from my compression hoses to my compression socks. My HR increased to 10 bpm higher each time I stood up with the socks than with the hoses. So I already knew that I felt better with the hoses but now I have the proof that it help with vasoconstriction. Love you all.
  16. Hi, I get motion sickness and the only way I can ride in a car is too be in a car with very good suspension. Usually they are expensive car but I cannot ride in small cars, not even for 2 minutes because I get adrenaline rushes.
  17. Hi, I was shopping for a watch with a HR monitor. I want a continuous HR monitor but the watches I found with it have a band around the waist. For bandless watch, I have to push the button for 5 seconds to get my HR. Does the watch that I need exist? If yes, where can I buy it?
  18. Hi, I have supraventicular tachycardia besides POTS. I don't want the ablation because it would worsen me so I tolerate for now.
  19. Hi, I never feel good standing or sitting but sometimes when I am lying in bed, especially at around 2:00 a.m. I have so much adrenaline rushes that I feel I could run around the city. When I stand up, my BP goes down and I feel like ****. Very often I have to stop what I was doing and lie down. I can cook for 5 minutes sitting in my wheelchair and then I have to go on the couch for 15 minutes. Then I go back for another 5 minutes and rest for 15 minutes. So for me, doing things is a long process.
  20. Hi, I am sorry that your boyfriend left you. I agree that staying friends is very complicated and painful. Unless you have a child together I would not recommend it. I meet my husband in a volunteer organisation. We were bought helping sngle parent children. I had POTS and NCS and was 21 years old.
  21. Hi, Cerefolin. I am not taking it and don't know more about it.
