gjensen, I'm taking salt tablets right now and that's about the extent. They tried me on some of the blood pressure medications but they made me really, really sick. I'm waiting to talk to my psychiatrist, though, about going onto an SSRI but we're concerned that will be bad for me given my current mental health diagnoses. Katybug, Thank you so much for your input! I really appreciate it and I never knew there was a lot of overlap between the two. I'm not familiar with it and anytime I try to look it up, I can never find anything on the subject. As for who diagnosed me, it was a doctor at a hospital. My diagnosis journey was utterly awful, as I've found many people have experienced. I'll try to keep it short, but I passed out while driving and we saw my PCP. She ran a total of two tests (one was to check for blood clotting and the other was to measure my adrenaline) and then told me it was anxiety. I insisted it wasn't because I've been seen by a psych since I was four and she said she wouldn't continue looking until I talked to him. My psych told me I sounded like I had POTS and we tested it in-office as best as we could. He sent me back to my PCP who referred me to a cardiologist who insisted I just needed to "exercise" more and strongly insisted I couldn't possibly have POTS. I demanded he check the symptoms and he had the nurse do it. He came in and said I was displaying the symptoms of it then prescribed me salt pills. HOWEVER, he called me afterwards and said he wasn't comfortable having me take the salt tablets without enough "evidence" to support something was wrong. Then he wouldn't renew my doctor's notes to excuse me from work. My psychiatrist suggested I visit our state's Faint and Fall clinic (which is a unique clinic. They only see you for initial treatment and diagnosis then pass you back to your PCP) and we were prepared for a full day of testing but within the first hour of being there they did the orthostatics and the doctor came in, diagnosing me on the spot. He said we could do the tilt table test but it'd really only be a confirmation and we didn't want to have to pay the extra money for that. So, long story short, I unfortunately cannot see them again and I need to find a doctor who can work with me on my current medical problems. ):
