Going to get my TTT in two weeks, pretty scared as I am essentially stuck in my house with symptoms, I wish I could start some kind of treatment now.
What I don't have: blood pooling in limbs (at least I don't see it), no abdominal pain (minor strange hunger/nausea), brain fog, chest pains, chronic pain, no more anxious standing vs. sitting.
What I do have: palps and shortness of breath all the time, fatigue on standing, high change in heart rate sitting to standing, low temperature all day.
Does anyone have these same symptoms and if so what type of POTS were you diagnosed with?

Two things have me confused.
1. One of the criteria for POTS is >= 6 months since symptoms started. I didn't get the major symptoms (high heart rate on standing, SOB, etc) till 45 days ago (literally) out of the blue. Why would 6 months be meaningful criteria?
2. I believe my symptoms must have started post-viral (I guess assuming I am not hyperPOTS) , but I didn't have a virus in over a year before the abrupt onset 45 days ago. Not sure how "post" viral the trigger could be.
Thanks.
