    Kylie came to us after months of debilitating Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) symptoms. She was experiencing significant tachycardia, adrenaline surges, and was just extremely sensitive to the world around here. Kylie was sensitive to most medications she tried and many of them made her worse.
    When we started treatment we had to do everything passively with significant breaks and at times even that was too much and could send her into an adrenaline surge. After 3 months of consistent treatment and Kylie really started to make a turn in the right direction.
    Here are some before and after videos of Kylie! Kylie is able to move around freely now without tachycardia and has begun exercising at home daily! CONGRATS KYLIE!!!

    For anyone who has pots take 200 mg of benfotamine (b1) before bed and 500 mg if magnesium. take 2 tsp of Celtic sea salt a day (through out the day with water and drink half your body weight in oz in water. If you are 150 ibs drink 75 oz of water a day. Just always make sure you pair water with salt for blood volume. But anyway. B1 is helpful in controlling the autonomic nervous system which is responsible for pots. I've had pots since I was young hut never knew what it was and all this helped with lots of my symptoms.

    I think I have POTS. But I saw a cardiologist and all they did was take my sitting b/p and HR and then immediately after standing. There was small increase in my HR but I usually peak around the 7-10min mark. I feel so unseen. I called you guys 🤞🏼 I’m hoping I can come see you for a better examination.

Apparently she wasn’t hitting mark but feeling awful so they kept going and when I read the notes “ patient was saying please stop please stop i feel awful please stop “ they stopped when her heart rate basically bottomed out after all the stress.

      Exactly. And get up and go isn’t going to give a true HR reading anyway as the blood is circulating by walking so it’s not having to work harder to get it back out of the legs.
      Not saying that it’s easy road for POTSies if we “just move” because I’d be on my face if I did this…
      But I’d like to see the real data of her HR horizontal to vertical “before & after” AND also in the after of just stand up still, and if the HR doesn’t spike +30 any point within 10 minutes, then it’s *not* POTS.
      But a good starting point is knowing which type of POTS, and managing symptoms from there (sodium & potassium & so.. much.. water.. and more sodium. Graduating compression stockings.)
      The dysautonomia major websites, and local to your country are useful for lots of support for anyone looking for *actual* information

    I hope this could be me in a few months. I am almost certain that I had it because I got covid 2 years ago and then I injured my neck and then started experiencing these symptoms but the doctors just kept telling me it was anxiety until I went to a chiropractor and she said I injured my neck and it caused some nerve damage and I am showing signs of some laws of Sensations in my right side of my body. Had the doctors actually did their job, I wouldn't have needed to go to a chiropractor to find out what was wrong with me. I get these attacks where it feels like I'm being hanged upside down if I stand or sit for too long. My legs and arms sometimes would start shaking and I know at that moment I need to go to a bed so I wouldn't hurt myself. I was seizure-free up until I had this injury and my neurologist refuses to do anything about it. They told me they don't believe that it's neurology and that I should go to my primary doctor and who knows what my primary doctor is going to say. I hope he doesn't Gaslight me like the other doctors did. But I wouldn't be surprised because most doctors care more about getting their money then they do about finding a true diagnosis and helping patients with treatments. Instead they just tell them that it is all in their head and that it is anxiety and they'll see you in 6 months, lol.

      @@turican14 recumbent biking was amazing as my first step. Starting there and cycling as long as you can and increasing the resistance. Then I started doing some basic weight lifting when seated. Lots of workout machines at the gym are seated which makes it great start instead of free weights. Then rowing was also good for my health. Getting in the rowing machine and doing it for about 500m at first and then overtime I started doing 1000-2000m in one sitting. I walk on the treadmill for about 30-40min 3x/week. It's difficult at first, and even now i still have my days, but it does help tremendously. In combination with my beta blocker, I am able to workout and feel better. There is a workout protocol for people with POTS if you look it up on the internet.

      @@vocalsbymohsinPeople with POTS. It stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It means that based on your posture, your pulse gets too fast. Orthostatic meaning caused by an upright posture.
      So for people with normally functioning systems, when you go from laying to sitting, and sitting to standing, your heart rate drops a little bit, as does your blood pressure, and then your body quickly recovers it, most people don't even notice it happening. With POTS, your heart starts racing and your blood pressure plummets. Many folks with POTS have working dogs who are trained to do something called DPT or Deep Pressure Therapy, where the dog alerts you, you sit down up against something so your back is supported, or lay down, and the dog will lay on your legs, putting pressure on you, helping to correct your blood pressure externally. A pacemaker would prevent the tachycardia (too fast heart beat) from happening in the first place, keeping the heart beating normally and evenly, and preventing a fainting episode, which commonly occurs with POTS and the rise in heart rate and fall in blood pressure. Hope this helps!!

    I’ll be laying down and I can feel panic SOMETIMES my heart rate will be 70-100 depending but most of the time 88-95
    When I even move like if I just roll over it will go to 105-110
    If I sit up sometimes it will stay normal and sometimes 140-144
    If I stand it will sometimes do a 170-140 and sometimes it will stay normal like 110.
    Sometimes I can feel anxiety symptoms and sometimes I won’t.
    These also come and go. Like for two weeks I’ll feel this and the next two I won’t.
    I will get a little faint feeling but if I breathe in and breathe out it will go away just kinda like the standing heart rate will relax but if I walk around it will get high again.
    It’s ups and downs. It never always does it every day. I do have anxiety disorder but I generally don’t understand what’s going on here

      Adrenaline dumps can happen frequently for people with pots/ disautonomia, especially if you have pre existing anxiety disorders. If you have hyper pots, your fast heart is caused more often than not by excess adrenaline being released without need, so it makes sense that this happens to you while sitting or even laying too. I hope you get the help you need. Sincerely, a tachy girl with hyperpots
