  1. So I’ve been newly diagnosed with POTS, and Im still working on getting medicated so I’ve pretty much just been suffering through this. I’ve been told my pots is episodal which I haven’t seen 1 post about someone else with a similar issue. One day my heart rate is almost normal and the next if I walk around it’s in the 180s so all of my doctors are apprehensive about medicating me when sometimes my heart rate resting is around 55, but on my bad days my heart rate will go above 200 which really has me worried (and my doctors). I remember the first time my doctor looked and saw my heart rate was 217 ( I have a watch that records my heart rate) she looked at me and goes “that’s to high that shouldn’t sustain life what we’re you doing we’re you working out” (I was walking and I felt more winded then normal” I’ve been told to take it easy keep my stress low drink water eat salt.I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has any tips or suggestions for me, as I’m said I’ve just been thrown into this and most of my doctors don’t know what to tell me. I know that it takes awhile to find the right medications and I’ve read a lot about pots and I’m trying to learn as much as I’ve can. My symptoms are only worsening and I’m hoping you guys can give me some insight. ( also sorry for the horrible grammar this brain fog is annoying)
