Man this was too funny, I haven't laughed all day until now. Thanks I needed that.

Ok thanks........

I need to start helping myself and have a million questions. I have a doctor who just don't know about this condition. So Im trying to learn from everyone here on this sight and Im trying to build my confidence in myself again. Whats going on with me when I see black dots? I noticed I have this arm pain and the tingling in my hand like may be pooling in my hand lt side what is this? I want to know if the lt arm pain is because I lay that side all the time. I told my doc about this site she told me she will look into it that's been about a week should I call her? What do u guys think?

Wow Pat!! Thank u so much.

You guys are so great!!!! Im so happy even though I feel scared inside at least somebodies understand me because I have been really having horrific times in my life. I just need to let go this phobia about taking meds so I can feel better. Only the lord knows why I can't get myself to take the meds as if I like feeling this way. I just need to snap out of the fact that it's just going to go away.

I am trying to find a really good doctor here in Miami who deals with POTS and shoud I be looking for a Neuro or Cardi doc?

I see, wow it's really great to have u guys being that my family is in the business of not caring. This something I need to address with my doctor because it's getting to the point where even if I want to cook or stand to cook I get hyper and start feeling unbalanced and then I get nervous and can't concentrate. I want to do things again and stay in the bed. I need to maybe find a good doctor here in Miami because Im already at bay held hostage in my home because of the heat at least I could get around the house o.k.

I feel bad for u but at the same time I am happy that u are able to get around a little. I hope u will be able to get the accomodations u need to teach and to live life more comfortable.

That figures, this mostly happens when lying down maybe I need to wal around after eating. Im not sure if I grasp the whole scenario but with med background I understand the basics.

Im not really sure on the exact cause of my POTS but one thing Im noticing is that it has something to do with my adrenaline. I noticed that my adrenaline is always on call even when I get up just to go in the bathroom. Im not sure if you all are expiriencing the same thing but this is really freakng me out. Im trying to study my body more and learn what's going on. I feel like some really weired vibrating type of sensations in my body like as if my blood is draining thru different parts of my body like my legs and stomach. I know it sounds crazy not even sure if Im describibg this o.k. Today I was watching a scary movie and it felt like I was not even breathing for a short moment then I had the sharp electrical pain in my chest that went away. Then after my adrenaline was pumping and the heart raced for about 5 minutes. I got nervous and started praying that I was o.k. Im o.k. because Im still here right? I told my doc about all this nervousness and weight loss Im having and asked if this could be coming from the fact that I could be depressed or the lack of eating because when I try to eat I get really nervous and then I put my food away.

I really wanted to ask eveyone tonight if they would be intrested in starting a prayer chain on Tuesday's at 9:00 pm for healing for all of us. I was always told prayer changes things. I already pray for us each night hoping that we are able to get well. Thanks!!!!

My heart goes out to u deeply Carly will keep u and ur dad in my prayers. God bless!!!

Hi just watched the episode and it was pretty informative. So how did your sister feel after watching it with u?

I feel like it makes me have a bit of a wheeze and that it gives me the chest pain or is that just part of the symptoms?

I have been taking Atenlol when I first went to the hospital and was diagnosed only take 12.5 mg. The new doc wants me to take Metoprolol Succinate ER 25mg. I have low blood pressure. I wanted to know if anyone think that Metoprolol was better for me or should I keep with Attenlol?

Im game!

If I could I would bring the suprise guest and it would be God and he would cure us all and we would all rejoice and be healed.

I am terrified becausee Im not sure of what was going on with me and it has really changed my life dramatically. I have been tortured by my on bad thinking and negative thoughts to the point of falling into depression. Thanks Tea Rose and Cat for teaching me alot of things I was unsure of.

Wow Ernie this is really horrible, however they will be greatful for u in the long run.

I have most of these including:

Lost of sweat

floaters (seeing black dots)

dry eyes

This is very intresting to know and also somewhat comforting to know that Im not alone.

Pots is new for me and I notice that from reading about different foods that can trigger episodes I am almost not eating much of anthing. I notice that I am still loosing weight not really sure if it's from depression or if it's something related to POTS. I know I feel really nervous when I start to eat and it feels like my thoat is closing in on me. I have lots of racing thoughts lately especially sincce I just lost my uncle 2 days ago. I think I may need a Thearapist or something to help with absorb these weird things going on with my body now. I have some tingling going on in my hands where is that coming from? I also have joint pain not sure why but my electro doc did not tell me all this would be going on but I wish someone tell me sonething b4 I loose it.

O.k. guys now im totaly confused I thought depression and anxiety was the same. My symptons for me are nervousness and something with my adrenaline like shakiness and scared really uneasy. I took a xanex before and it did relax me. Which one do I have anxiety or depression?

I know my heart rate went to 39 bpm in the hospital back in May. Im always dehydrated and im drinking lots of water maybe not enough salt.

Well I live on Miami Beach and not sure where u are but when on the beach here we mostly us the beach tents. These cover u completely from the sun. It works great!

Thats me. I have this hapened to me when coughing and sneezing.
