hi everyone, i just wondered if anyone is having the same problem as me. i first got ill in november 2007 and was diagnosed with POTs in march, and since november, because of my drop in bp and raise of heartrate when i stand, i could stand or walk at all without collapsing. therefore since november i have been in a wheelchair, just so that i could get of the house. i am now taking midodrine but still feel too unsteady on my feet, im alright to walk a little way but if i get hot or walk too much my legs feel like jelly and my heart starts to race. . . . . which then kicks off all of the symptoms, making me feel really bad and have to sit back down, this then puts me back and im ill for days afterewards. i think its just because im so nervous and have lost confidence in myself being able to walk. Does this mean i will always have to go in a wheelchair when i go out? do any of you have to go in wheelchairs because of POTs? hope you are all doing ok, lotsa luv kellz xx
