Hi! My name is GloriousPurpose!
So I've been learning more about POTS and I've been thinking maybe I should look into going to the doctor about it. (Also how do I go about doing that?)
I've been having dizzy spells since I was a little kid, I lose my eyesight, my whole body gets really heavy, I'm really dizzy and swaying, I get a pounding headache, and sometimes I collapse. I've never fainted though, and there not always that bad.
I also bruise really easily, am super pale, get nose bleeds incredibly easy and for long periods of time, sometimes my feet swell too, I'm always cold and I have hand tremors (though I don't know if those are a symptom of POTS).
But we think I'm anemic and I know I'm super dehydrated so it might just be that.
People with POTS and other types of Dysautonomia, what do you think?
Hello, so I wanted to come here to ask if my symptoms describe POTS, so yeah, these started about 4-5 months ago and it has only gotten worse since then. I get lightheaded when i stand up all the time and sometimes my vision goes weird, i decided to check my heart rate (with a at home pulse oximeter) and it goes up by 30-40 BPM when i stand up and about 20 BPM when i change positions, also exercising is harder (than before the symptoms started to get worse) because i get lightheaded so easily now, i do also get lightheaded when i stand for prolonged periods of time, and other times i do feel heart flutters. and on bad days, i just continuously get that feeling of having to faint, also when i pop my neck sometimes i get dizzy. anyways, what are you guys thoughts?
