Funny you say this. Ive had no black out of vision, but my vision keeps bluring and i feel a bit spaced out. Probably due to lack of nutrition as i havnt been eating properly latley. I can be sitting here then all of a sudden my Hearbeat will go mental and my vision blurs. Really mad and very scarey!

As it goes last night i ate a pizza for tea and early on in the day i had a subway. I love spicey foods i had lots of Jalapenos on both the pizza and subway and i had no problems yesterday, so spicey foods isnt the cause. Ive had no wheat today but what im gonna do is eat toast until about 4pm and have a bowl of weetabix then see what happens. I still havnt went the toilet for a number 2 if nothing comes out by 10pm tonight i know somethings up, as i had alot to eat yesterday.

Arrrrr. Thank you everyone for wishing me a happy birthday, well appreciated. I had a decent day, although to start the day off i had trouble with my step dad, and got no present of my mom which caused alot of stress and arguments for a few hours. Its not that im ingreatful or anything, its the circumstances you see. I didnt have a POTS free day, but i had a good day, my symptoms did ease of actually. Thank you all again and may this year be better then the rest (For some reason i think it will get worse but HEY!)

Hi All. Thought id let you all know its my birthday tomorrow. I will be 21! I really hope i feel better tomorrow as i want to enjoy the day. Its 7:45pm in the UK so im gonna go to sleep about 10.00 and hope i feel better in the morning. Big day tommorow, i just dont think i can travel all over the place to collect cards and presents

delayed emptying, gastroparesis, slow motility/transit Exactly what im going through now. I cant eat its that bad, my water intake has been decreased cause i can keep anything down withough feeling like theres a cow in my stomach. I been the toilet 2 times today, i havnt been for about 4 days!

I have bad teeth. My teeth are disformed, not its noticable to a certian extent. Ive had one tooth rot itself away even though i brush regular, i have loads of cavaties. Prolly due to bulimia though aswell.

For the past year ive been having bad stomach problems. I have terrible wind and often get consipation and severe bloating. When the wind passes through its huge! Ive been awakening feeling sick and having semi-diarrhea. I also get fatigue, weakness and lack of energy that i thought could be diabeties but ive been tested for that. Ive never thought about what the problem was until i started reasearching on the internet. I feel very weak and tiered when my stomach is going on one. Once my stomach calms down i stop feeling weak and begin to feel normal. The symptoms are a pain in the neck and usually make dysautonomia symptoms worse, and can play terrible with my anxiety. Someone shed some light on the subject if anyone know much. BTW. i also think im infertile as me and my G/F have been trying for a baby for about a year and she cant get pregnant. But shes been tested so its a 90% chance its me.

There scarey, i have them at least 3 days in a week. Some days there bad, some days there not. More often then not the day will go fine but if anxiety kicks in i get them BIG BANGS in my chest where your HR skips. I find fluids work for me, although i dont have enough even though i should, so when i get these IB's its my own fault.

Hi all. Im nearly recovered from a cold but i now notice that the top of nose hurts, around the area of my eyes. If i pinch it i can feel pain, and it feels like....well i cant explain it just hurts. If i stand up i notice a great ammount of pressure on this part of my nose and sometimes when its bad it goes accross my eyes and i get a mild pressure under my eyes. It may be cold and sinus related but ive had this cold for 7 days

As it happens ive noticed this. Just today i was going to town to get some colthes and i was standing and felt a squeezing in the back of my leg, felt like a vein was being squeezed and circulation had been cut from that vein. Ive had it in my arm and my finger aswell. The tips of my fingers often feel like there being squeezed and they get a bit itchy like frostbite. Although ive noticed this comes on when it is cold, so it may be frostbite.

For the first time in my life a common cold has kicked me to the ground. I had a cold bad for about 3 days, whenever i stood i felt dizz and my HR often shot up when i stood up. I constantly felt ill and found it hard to do anything. 7 Days later and here i am, got the sniffles, ive had a sore throat for 3 days, i think my immune system has crashed so im staying away from people with colds, so i dont get it again, lol.

OMG ive been having these cramps on the right side of my upper chest and in my stomach, they usually come on the day after ive had something alcholic to drink. Im gonna head to the doctors and see what they say.

Hi all. Sorry i aint spoke for a while. Ive just came down with the Flu , belive me its a battle to fight it off. Since ive had it ive noticed dramatic body changes. My HR now slows down when when i breath deep and will stay slow for 10 seconds, ive clocked it at about 40 yesterday. Palpatations are increased, ive had a few that feel like a big Jolt in my chest that make me moove and cough automaticlly. As well as the hightened symptoms i got a runny nose and sore eyes. I remember a few years ago i wouldnt get a cold, my immune system was so high, i was so fit, but now, i catch anything. My stomach seems to be storing gas, i get bad stomach pains and i can feel wind shooting up my throat, then it stops and wont come out, feels awful. I might start taking Rennies to see if that helps it out. I also think i have a slight case of piles. Muscle twitches have also been doing my nut in. I was siting hear yesterday and my thumb starting doing its thing on its own, it was literally mooving but i wasnt mooving it. Also had twitches in my stomach, legs and my Eylid (the ammount of times ive had it there) Thanks for reading my little short vent. Hope noone has to go through what ive been through.

Amazing. I will be practising these when i feel anxious. I belive breathing exersises and a clear mind is were the best help can be found for anxiety and even well being

HIM sowwwy , lol. After eating i always feel bad. The weekend i had a party, i ate ALOT! and drank on a social level. I didnt excreet until 3 days later. I feel theres a digestion problem somewere along the line, ive noticed i dont empty my number #2's as i normally should

Dizzy, I know it must be difficult, but you really need someone who can offer support around you. Im not calling you weak or anything, but you need someone whos there to offer support and help you on your way. Wouldnt it be nice to have a friend who can support you in the bad times you have in the middle of the night, or someone who can make you your dinner and comfort you whilst your really ill. You really shouldnt deal with this alone. Im trying to say your disabled and need help or anything, im saying it from a point of view of myself and many others, support is crutial, you have a sholder to lean on, a face to talk to, someone to laugh with. If your perfectly fine on your own then i give you the upmost respect and praise, as your a strong girl. Sorry if it comes out sounding wrong to the reader, i mean well

Pamerla, I wont deny that happens to me, the bending down is horrible, you bend down, blood rushes, get back up and Ouch! you need to pause, your HR Rises, you get the pain in your stomach, you take deep breaths, lean on your friend or grab something close. If your out and about its worse, you have to make yourself unoticed, so that you dont attract attention. Worse thing is you do a mile to the local shops and your exshausted, yet you do 1 Hour at the gym and your fine. This is fustrating, one minute im fit and active, next minute BANG! im down and feel and act very unwell.

Ive put school on hold. I know i shouldnt but i really cant go through with it at present. Faithinspire has discribed exactly what i get, down to a T. As you said, the only place i walk is around the house, so walking a few miles makes symptoms worse. Im now at the gym, again, as it makes me feel a whole heap better, when i go out and do things i know my body is able, its gives me great slef esteem. Thank you all for your support, you really put a smile on my face. Thanks

I have used that site quite a few times. Mighty Mouse thanks for printing this out and sending it directly to Dan Smith. Although times may be hard and the pressure is great look to the future and keep your future plans close to heart. Your in a place that has the best care for you at your time of grief and you can and will come through this. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for you daily. I cant post a card as im in the UK but if i can get the pennys together ill send mine off

200 Resting OMG!! That is abnormal and would freak the **** out of me. The highest mine has been is about 170 Resting, and i cant remember when that was, i know it was on one of my anxiety attacks. I know this isnt easy, i have days were i just cannot do anything, although on many occasions if theres friends and family around i will get on with life no matter how hard it is. My worries and problems drag me down when im alone. Will you be living alone? I know from experience that when your alone (goes for most of us) we feel more anxious cos theres no help or support. If you are or will be living alone is there anyway you can get a friend to moove in with you. I really feel for you. At present im going to the gym cos i notice if im at the gym i feel better about myself and feel better about coping with life. God Bless you

I do get symptoms at home, no doubt about that, but nothing like i experienced the other day.

Hello to Everyone! Ive now quite colledge becuase i basiclly cannot cope any more. Im sick of all this. Last week i was due to go to colledge, i was fine, i walked to the bus stop, and sat on the wall, as i sat i got a skipped heartbeat, which set me off. On the bus i felt sick, and very anxious, the bus was FULL! i was scared. I got of the bus and jumped on the second, all of a sudden i went all hot, my HR went higher, i needed to get off the bus, i urged the bus driver to stop but he wouldnt, so i had to wait till the bus stop. I felt horrible, i was away from home, all alone, and this was happening, i was so scared. I got on the bus back home and went to the Job Centre, it was cold outside and the place wasnt open for another 10 mins. Poor me was standing outside, with a tachy episode going on, feeling very scared. I was that scared my body was trying to be sick. I tryed to focus on one thing, it was working for a second, but i just couldnt focus. I found it hard to swallow, when i tryed my throat wouldnt swollow, my legs felt like lead, i felt like i had to much space around me, my head was dizzy and light. I then decided to walk home from the job center. The moment i got home i felt fine, everything was normal. These episodes never happen in the house, only outside, its awful. I cant even walk through a shopping center alone any more. This experience has made me quite colledge now, now im back to a usless idiot who dont get of the PC. Im scared to walk alone and scared to be alone. On the potsy side ive been feeling ok, standing has been easier for me, although as a male, standing at the toilet can sometimes feel awful. Sleeping is hard for me at the moment, i always awake at night time with my HR super fast or Super Slow. I think im gonna try and get some counsiling cos anxiety is not doing me any good.

DizzyGirl, You make an awful situation seem pleasent, the way you speak is like your so posative. Its like your standing up and telling POTS that your doing that you want!. LOL. Im glad your thinking posative and getting the help you deserve.

Hayley, Is it not possible to go under treatment for you 'Off Balance' issue? Anyway all im off to colledge today, ill inform you on how my day went!

Not all the time, but i have to admit i've had it. I notice you didnt mention Yawning, as thats a problem. Coughing and Laughing can often irritate symptoms.
