  1. I am so glad I found this forum. I was first diagnosed with POTS in 2009, and it has bothered me from time to time. I have really been slammed this week for some reason. I am so dizzy I feel like I can barely stand, especially from about 9AM till noon. I am also really bloated, and generally not feeling well all over. I am taking Coreg 3.125 originally prescribed for Mitral Valve Prolapse about 5 years before the POTS diagnosis. I took Zoloft for about a year with mixed results. It was discontinued by my cardiologist after my family Dr. moved away. My new provider has put me through the ringer with testing. The only thing that has showed are low vit d and some noncancerous thyroid nodules. I have an appt with Vanderbilt in Jan because my provider doesn't know what to do really as she has limited experience with POTS. Does anyone have any suggestions to get me through this month? I am working full time as a nursing instructor, I don't know what I would do if I was still with patients everyday. I am 32 with a husband and small child so this is becoming very devastating to me personally.
