I had a radical hysterectomy 2021 and had all the symptoms of POTS! Been taking 1mg of Estradiol 2x a day so far for 2 yrs now. My Tachycardia has been the worst of all the symptoms and finally got diagnosed 9/21/2023 with POTS! The last 2 years have been a nightmare for no one new what was going on with me and I thought I was just going crazy! I had also 2 partial mastectomies, gallbladder removal, and L Knee reconstruction. Been a very bad 2 yrs ! So when I got this diagnosis I felt better so now I can at least get the help I need! Well… I the guidance to adjust my life, to live with this. Seems that some big things are: stay away from carbs, concentrate on the increase of your intake of salt (yes weird check it out) do some minor exercise (walks, yoga) stay cool!!!! Try not to over heat! I do some minor stomach crunches in the morning and or at night to keep blood flow in my abdomen. I concentrate on these things on a daily bases - it helps a lot…. Besides taking a meditation (25mg Metoprolol Tartrate as needed) and plenty of water! This was all told to me by My Cardiologist who I trust with my life! He is also my Dads Cardiologist whom he saved his life 2 yrs ago as well! Something just to use as a guide line and if anyone else has any advice for me PLEASE Share! I will take any advice !!!! God Bless wish all the Best!
