Hi everybody! Im new here.I have been diagnosed with POTS since June 2001.I think that the symptoms have always been the same since 1989. I have been suffering from tachycardia, dizziness,terrible headaches and I fainted from time to time...But fortunately my cardiologist prescribed for me a Betabloker and Xanax and some vitamines which helped me improve a great deal. I have taken those medecines for about 10 year. Taking my medecines and following my doctor's instructions I was more or less OK.It was only in the year 2001 when I felt that my healt has made a change in my life, my dizziness has been uncontolable and my BP has been very low . I did my Tilt Table Test and the diagnosis has been POTS. I have been prescribed Fludrocortisone, Gardenal, Magnesuium, Betabloker and I have been told to drink lot of watter and to wear compression sockings during the day.I had been under those drugs for about three years but there was no positive change concerning my symptoms,exept that my BP raised to 160/90. Oh I feel sick to remember that periode of my life. I had spent plenty of time looking for people who would travel abroad and buy Fludrocortisone for me for the simple reason that it is not available in my home coutry.I stopped taking those medecines once again for about 18 months .And it is only in November 2004 that did my Tilt Table Test and have been re-diagnsed with POTS. Nows I am under Gardenal,Magnesium,Venamitol and I wear compression sockings.Fludrocortisone is prescribed fo me but who will import it for me? May God healp me and grant me health.I whish that you will all of you enjoy reading my story even if it is some what redendant.
