Yeah that’s what the ER doctor said

Thank you! I have ordered a HR monitor and a BP monitor to help track as well. Just so I have some I guess info/results to show the GP… I am a little nervous on whether or not they believe me.. It took me over 12 months to get diagnosed with herniated discs, after seeing 3 different doctors, And after reading about pots, it seems like it might take a while to get results.. so I figured the more at home results I can gather, the more helpful it may be.. but thanks again!

Thank you all for your replies! I have had numerous “episodes” over the years, so this wasn’t the first time, But it’s definitely the first time it’s been over a week with it. The ER dr said this was probably brought on was due to a viral infection. I have just ordered a HR & a bp monitor so I can keep a record of when I have a moment. Thanks again guys!

Hi guys! So I have to make a GP appointment and see if they can test me for Pots. I was in the ER two days ago after a bad episode, & the ER dr suggested I may have pots and I should have a halter monitor and a stress test done and to see a cardiologist as well. What questions should I ask the gp? Here are some of my notes, I’ve been keeping track of, & hopefully make it easier for the gp… Thank you for any help, tips etc Since Friday 29th Dec Ears ringing Back aches Knees/shoulders ache Dizzy if stand too long, and shortness of breath Heart racing especially when I move ( like get up for toilet Unsteady feeling When standing for a few minutes- tingling in legs and a feeling of pressure.. ears start ringing… sweats..
