heart rate is fine moving my arm...its drinking any kind of beverage it goes up quite a bit yea i wonder if this happens with people without POTS ? but weird enough when i hold my breathe it only goes up 5-8 beats, but when i drink anything it goes up 10-20 beats ???
sounds silly but my heart rate goes from 66 to 84 just drinking water or gatorade ? like 3 big sips ? and comes back down within 5 minuetes ...but is it normal for that to happen ?
Can't tell you what to do But I can tell you in the hospital my hr went from 70-140 upon standing And I am on 6.25 atenelol twice a day Morning / night It has helped me
yea i had this happen yesterday and i dont understand whats going on it feels like your heart will come out of your chest =/ happend twice in two weeks and i am on meds not so sure as in what to do.
Any 1 just laying down ever have there heart rate spike like crazy ? had a really bad episode last night hr went from 80 and climbed to 160 came back down to 110 and stayed there for a bit then i took an extra dose of atenelol and it went down to 90 and i fell asleep has any 1 ever had this happen just laying down not doing much ?
ok the Mayo Clinic said to have my PCP call in and they are willing to help find a diagnoses they said to call and ask for a POTS specialist. my question is ...who is the best POTS doctor in that specific hospital ? so i can tell my doctor to ask for that specific person ? if any 1 could lend a helping hand it would mean a lot as you know how hard a diagnoses is =/
I have not been able to find a cause for my POTS ...received blood results today and my dhea was high...normal limits 31-701 and mine was 1163 Problem is I have no clue what this means .....does any 1 know why dhea levels might be high ? Hoping this can lead me to the cause of my POTS
