You may have just saved my life. I have been suffering from unexplained rapid heart rate, digestive issues, and ALL of the other symptoms you have described here. I am going bankrupt going to the hospital frequently because I believe I'm having a heart attack. I truly have been called everything from lazy to crazy. Diagnosed with panic disorder and generalized anxiety. Tonight I just had what I call an episode and it occurred to me that my symptoms are often triggered at night when I stand up from laying down to let my dog out in the middle of the night. I get extremely dizzy, experience rapid heart rate, I feel light headed and faint, sometimes I shake all over uncontrollably. The more I move around the worse it gets. When I get back in bed I have difficulty getting my heart rate to settle down. Sitting down tents to make me feel better. When this happens I often get upset and anxious. But I've been told I'm having a panic attack. I honestly believe I only experience a panic attack after the symptoms begin because I am afraid of what's happening. My symptoms are also often triggered by heat. If I get too hot especially in the shower, I get dizzy, light headed and my heart rate increases. After suffering nearly 3 years with this with no help from almost every type of doctor, I felt like I was going to just go insane eventually. Until now, I feel a glimmer of hope that this is what I may have. I have very poor sleep and have even become afraid of night time. I also have hypertension and usually when I experience an episode, my blood pressure is very high. Can you have pots and high blood pressure? I would appreciate any additional advice you can give about next steps. Because all of my doctors seem to have written me off as a person with a mental health issue and keep pushing me towards seeing a psychiatrist. Which by the way I have done and it has not helped. 🙏🏾

Studies show that ME patient with POTS can get worse and does not see progress in POTS patients. But POTS patients that not have ME get better with excercise.

Thanks for this video, I've been struggling for almost 2 years and keep getting misdiagnosed as "anxiety", nobody is hearing me. It leaves me feeling defeated

I'm on Ivabridine for my POTS but it cost alot as not on schedule for my condition. Works really well. I dont get the syncope. Never have. Started with viral illness, in ICU then CCU with chest pain, tachycardia, Left and right bundle branch blocks. Im stuck in LBB. I do aquaerobics when well and not too tired. I walk and get on exercise bike often. I'm planning on weight training. Also went low carb, no vegetable or seed oils, higher healthy fats. Much better.

Does anyone else symptoms get worse in the summer comes? Because I noticed in the winter time I start feeling much better I still have a lot of symptoms but a lot less and when summer comes they get extremely bad and I live in Arizona so it’s really really bad. I just got do you know if somebody else is feeling the same thing that I do that it seems to lighten up in the winter but gets worse in the summer? I hope someone responds. 🙏

Best thorough video I have seen ( upon many) on POTS...;)♥️👏♥️

I was POTS symptomatic starting about three years ago. GI issues galore, and non cardiac chest pain. Presyncopy was infrequent. Until my second COVID shot last April. I've been downhill ever since. I have had every test but the autonomic battery. Finally got neurologist to order tilt table. That was January. I won't get tested until June. It appears that long haul COVID folks have similar symptoms.

He is my doctor but I always saw Dr. Hoffman Snyder (so sad she retired 😭). Mayo clinic really changed my life and I will be forever grateful.

I can only thank you!!! I am being tested at the tilt table in 48 hours. This condition is so frustrating. Hopefully the exam will confirm the condition, and I can get on with a targeted management. It has been 8 years of me chasing doctors and they do not have a clue. It is only thanks to YouTube videos like this that I managed to get to the right doctor and diagnosis procedure. I have now one sister conclusively diagnosed and another sister and my mother not diagnosed, but with pretty severe symptoms, including syncope, just like myself. I am 51 years old, and I can remember the onset of symptoms as early as 10 years of age. Thanks.

What about sibo? Does it cause POTS or do POTS cause sibo?

[Pari_Pixie]

How do you increase your salt intake if you have high blood pressure?!?! 😳
I have POTS with high blood pressure. I’m so confused right now.

[carolbella]

This is what I was told I had by one dr., test after test after test, no doctor will treat or help me get disability. Like o.m.g. Ur really talking about me! I live in WB Pa. and my ins. Won’t cover much, it’s been going on for over ten I can’t drive or work?

[terri]

Wonderful Dr. Goodman. My daughter is a patient of his and he was able to diagnose her very quickly once she was able to get in to see him. She also has Sjögren’s syndrome.

[Thelittleclipstore]

Has anyone tried keto or carnivore diet to help with pots

[GTXTI]

I am a male with POTS. I’m curious if anyone has had any serious symptoms such as heart attack or cardiac arrest due to this condition?.

[CrystalMouse]

Just got diagnosed today. Been suspecting this for a while. I also have ME/cfs and fibromyalgia. I’m wondering how connected these are because symptoms overlap

[nathanslater]

Thanks so much for posting this. Very practical.

My Dr thought I had orthostatic hypotension but I have a BP & HR cuff and its shows my BP actually doesn't go down upon standing but goes all over the place. I normally have low BP but my HR increases 30-50bpm upon standing and can spike to 200bpm from 1 flight of stairs or 136-147+ after a shower. I did the poor man's tilt table test at home twice and am taking it in to my Dr at the next visit. Everyone I w talked to says it's POTS. I've been treated by this Dr for 18 months and he's been treating any deficiencies I had for 18 months and my levels all test normal and have been for 15 months. Thanks for the extra info in this video that I can also check off the list further pointing to a final correct diagnosis.
