Hey guys, its me again. So, basically I went to the hospital (yet again) and they said I was fine. I had all the classic tests done. (EKG, blood, xray, etc.) I got a job at a chicken plant and was doing ok (other than feeling light headed and nauseous from standing for so long) but then my symptoms and feelings I had been holding in finally pushed me to my wits end and I ended up at a mental hospital for week. Fast forward to today I've come to my own conclusion that I have pots and i was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder not too long ago. My symptoms have been getting worse. I feel like crap all the time, even to the point of wanting to give up on life (that's how I ended up at the mental hospital). Are there any tips you can give me on how to not feel as ****** all the time? Thanks in advance. I hope you're all doing well.

I use these exercises, and I'd like to think that they work. These two exercise are to help your blood flow. I do the one below first and then the one above. Also, this video is about signs heart disease. I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. No red meat or chicken (fish is fine), I drink plenty of water and I get at least 30 minutes of exercise three days a week. I take long walks so I don't strain my heart. (If I am feeling weak, I just lay back and do leg lifts and bicycle pedaling motions). There are recipes for artetry cleansing drinks. hope this helps.

Just had my dad check my pulse a few minutes ago and he said its normal.

Haugr, Nope... It keeps getting worse... At this point, I'm just trying to leave it to god.

Thank you Sarah. This is very helpful.

Haugr, I see... Thank you. I'll try to talk to my physician about it at my appointment.

Kalamazoo, it was trazadone. I used to take it all the time with no problem a year ago. I was taking it for anxiety and depression. But now, it just makes me feel worse. Its strange.

Maybe, idk... Last time I tried meds, my heart shot up to like 160-180 just from walking to the bathroom, so I avoid them.

SarahA33, I tried applying for Medicaid but got denied. All they ever suggest is popping some brain pill and seeing a psychiatrist. This is ridiculous. I could be on the verge of cardiac arrest but I'm being labeled as a basket case, but screw me, right? Smh...

Haugr, my blood pressure is usually very high like around 160. Sometimes it gets high as 190. The doctors never seem to bring it up. They didn't even give me my results the last time I got checked out. They just said I was "young and healthy". I feel like I'm 80 years old... I'm only 22... I feel like I'm being *********** because I don't have insurance. It's almost like its a conspiracy...

If I was dying would they definitely know?

Should I just have my self committed...? At least I'll have doctors around if something happens to me...

How have they not found anything that is a cause for concern? I think I'm cursed...

They're just going to tell me that its all in my head...

I'm sorry... Im just really upset... I feel completely doomed

My pulse has gotten so weak that I have to press down so hard that it hurts to find it... What is wrong with these doctors? Are they just going to let me die? There is obviously something going on. What the **** am i supposed to do when every doctor tells me I'm fine and I keep getting worse? Am I just completely ******? I can't take this anymore. I've hit a complete dead end. Literally DEAD end.

I'm not sure... I don't think so...

I've seen about 5 different doctors and they all say I'm fine.

Nope, didn't mention my blood pressure.

Thank you. So you're implying that you're confident in what my doctors said?

Hey its me again. So I've been getting this weird symptom, and it seems like I'm the only person this happens to... Each day, my pulse gets weaker and weaker (not the speed but the force against my fingers when I check it) I have my dad and sis check my pulse on my wrist and neck all the time and claim it hasn't changed (my dad is a veteran and claims he learned how to measure pulses in the army). The lady at the clinic checked my pulse a few weeks ago and said it was "right as rain" I also went to the hospital the other night, and they checked my pulse, my blood, used an EKG and did that thing where they clutch the front of your throat and ask you to swallow. They said that I was "young and healthy". Along with my weakening pulse, I'm still getting my fatigue, brain fog and breathing issues but I don't really get my heart jolts anymore. I've seen this doctor once before and also said I was fine then. Btw, my blood pressure is really high around 160-190 and my blood sugar gets really high too (also as high as 190) Should I trust what she said? Im also still waiting on my appointment with my clinic. Thanks.

Thank you Sarah

Ok thank you.

Thank you MomtoGiuliana, I'll definitely look into that book you mentioned. I have my dad and sis, but my sis gets annoyed with me and I don't want to stress my dad out anymore than he already is. I would love to see a counselor but I don't know how to set up a visit without insurance. Maybe I could set up one with the clinic I'm going through...? I would really love to go to a group for people dealing with undiagnosed symptoms (if that even exists) or maybe for people dealing with health anxiety.

Hey guys... I need help coping... I've only had 3 hours of sleep and I can't go back to sleep... I feel weak, tired, anxious, and very depressed... I broke down crying just minutes ago... I'm losing my mind... At this point, I just want peace... There's probably not much you can do (that you haven't already done) but anything would be a god send... I'm back to smoking cigarettes (which is obviously not good) because the stress is so immense... I sometimes feel like I deserve this... I should have taken better care of myself... Sorry about all of the dots, its a weird habit.
