    Regarding tilt table, esp. for kids: it is not necessary to strap someone to a tilt table. You can just have the kids lie down for 5-10 min, monitoring hr and bp, then have them get up very quickly and again monitor hr and bp. If hr shoots up more than 30 beats per min while bp stays steady, it’s Pots. If bp plummets, it’s orthostatic hypotension.

    I was finally diagnosed with Pots after suffering for 2 years after Covid. Unfortunately, I was told to decrease my exercise and increase salt and that was it. Even though I have the Pots black on white, my other doctors I tried to see about MCAS and other issues often associated with Pots still dismissed me. Am printing out all the studies I have read and going back next week. Really hoping they can do something because I cannot and will not live this way for another 50-60 years. With Ivabradine, I can swim a bit without a HR of 180, but now the fatigue and brainfog are so bad again, I can’t work at all anymore. It’s ridiculous.

Went to ER. Nothing wrong but they diagnosed out. My hematocrit has always run 15 . So blood volume is higher. Anyway the surgery did this and it's been happening for 5 months it's worse in heat.

    I'm not trying to be disrespectful but as I was saying I have to have neck surgery and the doctors, a doctorioral site and a gentleman that was giving a lecture on it said that if there is a shift in the neck that it can lead to they symptoms I'm having as well and possibly go away when I have the procedure done. I do have the problems of being cold and hot but the more I exercise the better I feel. So, not always does the exercise intolerance coming to play. There are time though I can't get enough sleep and sleep for days but that also goes back to the thyroid disorder I have. So, again please Sir can you do more research on this and redo you podcast or question and answer on this? I listened to you finely and not everything you are saying line up for everyone

  • @angelwilks9016
    @angelwilks9016 Месяц назад

    Sir, I may not be as educated as you are bit I suffer from POTS myself and a lot of what you are saying don't work for myself and I also don't agree with. For me the lower my blood pressure is the better I feel as well as the higher my heart rate is I feel butter but at the Sametime I do have the cloudiness and my adhd medicine helps me. I also can't up my salt intake like you are saying to do because my BODY WILL NOT release the fluids properly and I have to take a direct. But I also have problems with my thyroid and other underlining health problems. And, I'm not always effected by it sometimes I'm okay and bam out of no where I feel yucky again and it last for awhile, than goes away again or last along time. Some of what you are saying I agree with but there's a lot that's being said here that don't help and makes things worse for me. I've been diagnosed with POTS for over 2 years now and co.e to find out it's been longer than that and wasn't realized. When what you are saying is a normal blood pressure is high for me and I'm sick really bad sick. I feel like I'm in a dream type state or a cartoon like state and nothing makes sense to me. Especially when I'm on heart medicine. So, please can you take a look at all the different underlying health conditions that other doctors say goes hand n hand with this syndrome?

    The GPs here only deal with diagnoses they punch up in a computer specific to their iuhealth group think AND NO MORE..sad and frustrating. They don'tclike patients who give up on the 15 min 'appointment' with the intern aged doctor goes to ask the professor, essentially, about correct diagnoses for a patient he hasn't even seen...older people just suffer because they have been taught to believe the doctor without question and to accept ' you are just getting old so...' as a result, when I do my research and call them for additional appts armed with data...it is exhausting...and of all things after a couple of years my back pain may have tirned out to be a ureter infection somehow unseen.

    I nearly cried listening to this. I was referred by my GI doctor and my PCP (GP) to a cardiologist yesterday for my postural heart rate changes. Im so lucky to have a GI doctor who was so open to help me look at my broader symptoms alongside my GI issues and help me search for that broader answer outside the realm of only the Gastrointestinal tract. I am so grateful, but at the same time the reality is beginning to set in. I am realizing all of the doubts Ive had in my symptoms that have frustrated me ("what if I'm making it up, what if everyone feels this way and I just need to get over it, what if it's "not bad enough" to really be a problem in the eyes of my doctor?") have in truth been the EASIER thing to believe than the fact I have symptoms that will never go away, that will get worse as I age, that have more than halved my ability to work, that will continue to take away my ability to care for myself. I know that I am being more proactive than my family before me with the same symptoms, so maybe I can make it better. But Ive seen what this has done to them - being unable to leave the bed for days on end due to the fatugue and unexplained sense of illness. Every day I get closer to them, and good days remind me It will be even harder the next time a bad day comes around. I am sooo venting in this comment section right now, but I thank Dr Gupta and this channel for such a thorough overview of POTS and comorbiditues, especially the MCA and Hypermobility overlaps. This information can save us. Thank you.

    I am 79 years old, have had ME/CFS for 50+ years, but acquired POTS (including all those other dysfunctions on the list) a couple years ago when my PCP put me on a diuretic for B/P. He then wanted me on a reconditioning exercise program. I refused, and had a blood test done through another doctor: my electrolytes were severely depleted. Discontinuing the B/P meds and concentrating on intense restoration of electrolytes and other depleted nutrients has helped reduce the POTS heart rate, eliminate IBS, improve sleep.
