So I was told I have vasovagal syncope a year ago, I have had it all my life (first fainting episode was when I was five, but it was never diagnosed...dispite going to every 'ologist in the book and numerous hospitalizations as a kid) but my heart races (increases from 60 to 110 or 120) when I start to feel those horrible pre-syncope feelings upon standing or after standing a while, or in a hot shower, or after taking cold medicine etc..... I am confused as to the differences betwen NCS and POTS, in NCS does the heart slow vs speed up with POTS? Or am I confused?? I get the whole presyncope leadup (grey out, loose vision, nausia, heavy tummy and legs, heart racing, hearing loss etc). I have gone down a few times in my life but thanks to the advanced warning it does not happen much. Normally I just have to lay down, sometimes everytime I stand in the morning it will happen. Most the time now (ever since my daughter was born) I just have days where i have that "it is gunna happen today' feeling when I wake up but I can manage to stop it from overpowering me by taking it slow, sitting or laying down periodically, drinking lots of water, fidgeting etc. So most days I have symptoms like that, but lately I had bronchitis and it has gotten worse. That is normal for me, especially if I have to take any cold medicines. I think having had it for so long I just have gotten use to the day in day out adjustments I have to make, and besides docs for years could not find anything really wrong..They called it Chronic fatigue, migranes (from the post attack headaches), hypoclycemia etc...Anyway, I am confused. I do work but it makes it so darn hard to work full time, and I am often late to work cause I just cant get moving as fast as others and I have to compensate my body thru the day. I have a call center/trouble shooting job and sometimes I am just worthless at it. I wish I could get it all nailed down. thoughts??
