I went through pure hell in hospital ER because all they wanted to tell me was two things. It’s an anxiety or you’re dehydrated. it took six trips to the ER for a doctor to finally say oh no you have autonomic dysfunction. You need to go have a tilt table test done. SMH when doctors don’t know what it is their number one diagnosis to go to is anxiety number two is dehydrated. It’s so infuriating. Just went to the ER the other day because my shallow breathing shortness of breath and air hunger is so severe. I got the pleasure of hearing a useless story about the doctors anxiety that he had when he was younger and could not breathe right and then told me not to rule out anxiety. I literally just got done telling him that I have autonomic dysfunction.

I was diagnosed with a panic disorder and took me almost 7 years and multiple doctors to finally get my diagnosis of POTS like I always say panic attacks don’t get better when you lay down
