  1. Does anyone get a heart rate decrease on walking? My hr sits at 120 standing still, but when walking a short distance drops to 95. As soon as I stop it goes back to 120. Lying down it drops to 60. Does anyone else experience anying similar?
  2. Thanks for the responses. I've been diagnosed with POTS and have the sustained increase. I just wondered how I fit in with others here. Wondering if based on the timing of things you could further classify some sort of cause. If I increase instantly does that point to a different mechanism than someone who slowly increases over 5-10 minutes.
  3. Hi, Looking at the POTS diagnosis criteria and it mentions HR increase within the first 10 minutes. In my TTT I went from 60 -> 140 instantly and when I stand up I get the instant increase as well. The opposite is also true, when going from standing to sitting/lying my HR generally drops back immediately unless I've been exercising etc. Just wondering what others experience on the TTT/upon standing - do you have an instant rise or more gradual over that 10 minutes? Thanks.
  4. Yep, I get this too and the muscle twitches. I have used the boat reference to describe it in the past. Makes it interesting when reading and figuring out if it's my hand or head moving.
  5. Yes, I get this all the time, I have constant palpitations particularly lying down / after eating. No skipped beats, tachy etc. just feeling my heart beating. I normally feel it at a lower HR but when my HR rises, I don't feel it anymore - I hit 180 on the TTT and couldn't even feel it beating. I also go through periods where I feel off balance / like I've just been on a boat.
  6. Hi RubberduckzillA, did you ever get a diagnosis? I'm having very similar symptoms but I only get mild tremors, everything else you have said happens to me.
