Hi Everyone, I'm new to this form, my name is Dean and my EP diagnosed me with POTS last month, but isn't treating me for it. This was after he did an abalation on me in June for SVT, for two days after the abalation I felt ok, but went down hill very fast from there. At first I thought I was only dealing with SVT, but after POTS came up I started to research it and found this site and it has helped me to feel like I'm not CRAZY! My story is that before POTS hit I was an athlete, training five days with weights and cardio, in January of this year I started to feel short of breath and my heart began to race and had severe fatigue. I knew this was not normal for someone in my physical condition, long story short went to the Cardio doc, after stress test, echo, etc. they said I had SVT and to see an EP. In Feb I saw the EP he wanted to do an abalation right away, I didn't want to because I've been through some serious surgerys, brain 1998 and cervical neck surgery in 2004. I continued to train and try to beat what ever was trying to keep me down, but one day in early June I was doing cardio and could not manage to do 5min and was extremly out of breath and was having severe chest pain. I was able to get in to see my EP quickly and again he said the abalation was my only answer, I agreed and went through with it, before surgery they gave me Reglan and I had a BAd reaction to it, I lost controll of my tongue and couldn't speak right. The docs got me stable and continued w/surgery. After seeing all kinds of doctors and test after test, my EP comes up with POTS, can an EP even diagnose POTS? I've got some questions for you guys, has any one had hoarseness with POTS, I've had it since June before the abaltion, I've been seen by an ENT, my Nero who is wonderful and everything they've tested me for comes back neg. Besides being hoarse, I'm tired all the time, have no energy, exercise intolorent (which is really killing me!) I lived to weight train, I was a competitive female natural (no steroid use) bodybuilder. I experience most of all of the symptoms that you all do. Any suggestions of any doctors in South Florida that treats pots? I've gone on long enough, but any help in trying to deal with this would be appreciated! Thank you! Dean
