Hello

I am having a route canal this week and haven't yet taken xanax from my cardio..

Will it lower heart rate?

Any side effects?

thanks

Since dizzy spells, pre syncope episodes and vision issues, 'I have developed anxiety to walk .

If I go anywhere, I need to be near my car so that if I dont feel well , I can sit down in the car.

But its starting to get in the way of functioning, like walking my kids to school.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Thank you for your reply

Its actually mid cycle for me but Idont usually react to mid cycle like this.

thanks again

Happy Holidays!

Before I was diagnosed , my doctor thought I had vertigo and prescribed meclizine.

I get dizzy here and there and feel funny more often then not but this was so weird.

I came home last night and was starving, felt like a low sugar. It made me dizzy, couldnt move my head without feeling yuck and very tachy...couldnt sleep because I was so dizzy. I tested my blood pressure trying to lay dow in bed and it was low, 85/ 57 and ate a bag of potato chips and tried to sleep but was too dizzy....and today was a mess.

What do you think? A vertigo attack or pots?

Thank you

I usually get this internal shaky feeling mostly in the am...

What is that?

I thought iut was my heart or soemthing but its not...then I thought it was from hypoglycemia but my sagr level was normal....

another crazy symtpom to add to the list...

happy thanksgiving

hi..

On bad days, which is like always,. I need to function and get my kids around...

Does xanax lower heart rate?

thanks

hello

My cardiologist wants me to keep checking blood pressure and heart rate....we havent found any medications that seems to help or I dont react to...when sitting my blood pressure is low 85/ 60 and when I stand it increases.....

Do treatments differ if its hypotension...

Interestingly though, I

cant stand for long periods either , I feel like I will pass out...

Thank you

Hi

I find on more tired days my eyes are so fuzzy and out of wack.

If I have to go out, it makes me even more anxious..

anything that can be done for this

thanks

[Aside from Hr issues, I feel exhasuted, and unsteady.

I also feel hypoglycemic, eventhough I am not.

I am not able to focus and my eyes feel funny...

basically, a general mess..

Hi..

My mornings are also horrible...Besides heart rate stuff, I just feel yucky, eyes are fuzzy and unsteady...

I do drink water as soon I wake up which I find sometimes help feel better quicker but its a big problem trying to get kids off to school and all.

Also, they say to sleep a bit elevated so your not flat and to have some salt before bed.

I dont know...

Feel Good

Hi..

I heard that it helps with POTS and I am getting frusterated with feeling so crummy all the time.

When did you take it?

did you end up going on a SSRI instead?

Thanks

Hi..

I am getting frusterated with not feeling well and thinking about asking for antidepressant. I have been reading alot about using 5HTP instead. Some research says to use during the day and others say at night before bed.

Has anyone used it and how did they take it?

Thank you

Hi

I am also having a hard time with anxiety, within the past year when my sysmptoms really kicked uo again..

I know I fear getting dizzy and fainting and that unbalanced feelig makes me anxious...

Its really started to impact my life as well..

Have you tried benzo's ? I ahvent tried anything yet but have xanax in the house.

Feel good...

Hi..

I am horrible in the morning....I never know how I will wake up or feel..

I never wake up feeling rested, always tired, unbalanced, tachy, eyes feel funny , internal shakiness...BUT I have kids to get to school and I have no choice but to keep going.

It does get a bit scary whenI have to drive and take them into camp or school..

I sometimes have to hold the walls so I dont pass out...its terrible...

afternoons are better..

Let me know if you find anything that works for you

hi

I just posted about this as well..

I also have high sugar readings and my endo who knows nothing about pots says that

cortisol can have a play in sugar levels.

I am sure there is something all related...trying to figure this all out..

let us know what happens. or feel free to email me..

Its all so frusterated..

Hello..

I often feel I am having hypoglycemic feeling, all the symptoms, fast hert rate etc...but when I test my blood levels they are either normal or even high. My endocrinologist has no clue and thinks my cortisol might have the answer. My cortisol was slightly high during the day and going to do the dexamethasone suppression test which I am sure will be normal ( my siste's was and we have same thing )

Any thoughts or has anyone experienced this?

Thank you

Thank you for everyones great responses..

The question is...if sugar levels ar ehigh, a1c levels are ok, cortisol levels are wacky....anypne taking metformin or something for sugar readings?

My endo is not very familiar with pots but feels that heart palps, tachycardia etc can be also from sugar fluctuations..

Thanks !

hello

I went to the endocrinologist today, who oby the way knew nothing about pots....I reallu feel that my weiird glucose levels might be realted to something else...

any thoughts?

oh wow...

I am like that...

Its funny because you would think we need that sleep, but like you , if I ovr sleep I feel horrible....glad to hear its not just me..

its funny because I thought maybe if I drnk a ton before bed, it wuld help with morning, but al it did was make me get up to use the bathroom a few times at night and thenfeel ven crummier in the morning..

oh well..

hi..

I thought it was only me...

I feel horrible in the morning and ehh by lunch and then better later in the day..

Does anyone know why thats so...and what can we do for this?

It makes functioning hard, especially with getting kids off to school.

Thanks

hi..

I am not diabetic, at least not yet...

From what my dr. explained, when cortisoal levels are high, your insulin drops and you get hypoglycemia...when cortisol are low the opposite might happen. My cortisol levels are low in the am...So, question, do we fix or try to ix cortisol first or sugar first and hope everything comes back together. This dr. is not a pots specialist.

Thanks

I was playing around with an old glucose monitor and have been finding that my sugar levels are high in the morning. Its funny though because I wake up feling hungry and shaky etc..

My dr. says that everything is connected, adrenal fatigue, sugars, tachy blood pressure...etc..

oh my...

Thanks for the reply...

I dont find it keeps me up at night but my mornings are so horrible ..

So, I was wondering if that had any relation

Thanks

I have been taking synthroid at night before bed, which is usually empty stomach...

many take it by day...

any suffetions?

thank you
