Healed From Orthostatic Hypotension
gomindy21 replied to cathielu's topic in Dysautonomia Discussion
Awesome! Great to finally hear that someone is recovering or has recovered. Are you standing for two hours straight, or is the standing spread out throughout the day? -
I get yucky feeling when I'm riding in a car. It doesn't seem so bad when I'm the one driving for some reason. But yes, since my pots got worse I did develop motion sensitivity.

Essential Aminos Are Helping My Oi
gomindy21 replied to Dizzysillyak's topic in Dysautonomia Discussion
Thanks for posting this! When I find out more about exactly what kind of POTS and EDS I have, I will be very interested in trying something like this. -
There seems to be a lot of unknowns with our illness doesn't it! I'm so glad that there are forums like this so we can all colaborate. Thanks for sharing

THanks, Maxine! The nurse Practicioner from Dr. Grubb's office thinks I have a type of EDS, and I'm just going down the road of trying find a geneticist/ dr., etc. I'm sure Dr. Lavallee is pretty understanding and knowledgeable since he has EDS. THanks again!

Yes, if does feel good when you finally meet someone who understands and is patient. Who is your EDS doctor?

Panic Attack / Pots Attack @ 6:30pm
gomindy21 replied to delphicdragon's topic in Dysautonomia Discussion
I have had panic/POTs problems. I would first suggest talking to your specialist/physician, etc. Currently I am undergoing progressive relaxation therapy. My therapist has actually worked with Dr. Grubb on some research with this a while ago. I've only started it this week, and it has helped out tremendously with calming my system down. It actually is a series of muscle constrictions/releases and breathing. So, if you are not big on medicines, this might be something that is helpful. -
Maisie 87, As I was looking up what causes low blood pressure, I did notice that adrenal problems are a possible cause. I was seeing a naturopath before I knew I had pots who had given me a supplement for my adrenals because my coritsol levels were low. Unfortunately my body didn't agree with some of the ingredients in the supplement(ginseng, niacin). Let me know how your appointment goes and if he suggests anything to take. I hope your appointment goes well

Potsgirl, my heart rate sometimes drops while laying down, but occasionally it rises to the 70-90's while my blood pressure is still low.Not quite as high as yours gets when laying. That must feel very bad when your hr gets that high with low bp. And yes, I think the feelings I get while my blood pressure is low is a worse pain then when my heart is racing.
-
Thank you for replying. I wasn't sure if this was a POTS thing or not. It's been concerning me because I know that really low blood pressure is not good for the body and I don't get to see Dr. Grubb until January. What is ME?
-
My symptom seem to change all of the time, but the one symptom that has been consistent for a few weeks is that the longer I lay down the lower my blood pressure gets, and occasionally my heart rate will get really low as well(lowest 51). Going to sleep is very difficult because my blood pressure likes to drop to anywhere between 78/53 to 98/48 when laying and that's almost every night lately. When I am up during the day often my blood pressure goes up with my heart rate. Anyone else experience the low blood pressure when laying issues and if so, what kind of POTS or other(EDS, etc.) do you have?

I have two disc bulges and one herniated disc. I also have slight scoliosis. The chiropractor has really helped with the pain.

A geneticist can diagnose EDS.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll read your other post!

Did you ever try the horse chestnut, or just the butcher's broom?

gomindy21 replied to MissPatient20's topic in Dysautonomia Discussion
I have that quite often. I use to have a very strong pulse until the last couple of months when my POTs progressed.
