Sorry, I forgot to mention - I do get pretty much same reading or jump in HR upon standing up when I count manually. I am just not sure whether it is normal or not.

Hi BuffRock Chick! Thanks for your reply! That is a great tip, thank you! I believe you HR is averaged to every 5 min otherwise and it's hard to see things in detail. I hope you doctor's appointments goes well and you start feeling better soon! I saw a doctor recently, and I mentioned this HR variations that I noticed, but she did not seem to be concerned and didn't even measure my HR or blood pressure, just suggested to take migraine medications. When I asked about POTS she did not know what it was and just dismissed it completely I am just wondering if it is worth trying to get a second opinion...

Hey all, I haven't been diagnosed with POTS, but for a while now I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms that sound like POTS (extreme fatigue, chronic headaches that go away completely when lying down, dizziness, shortness of breath, blurry vision and more). So recently I was keeping an eye on my HR using FitbitHR and I noticed that my lying/resting HR is usually around 55-57, and it goes up to 95-120 when standing, somewhere in between when sitting down. Lately my symptoms got worse and I find it hard just to climb the stairs or do any light exercise (just after 1 min of a light jog my HR jumps to 180). I have attached my heart rate chart of a normal day (no exercise at all, just switching between, lying, sitting, standing) - since many of you use Fitbit HR, maybe you could let me know if any of this is worth to be concerned about? Thank you so much!
