    Do you have episodes where your heart rate bounces from the 30’s to 200’s? Those are my worst episodes! I’ve cause asystole on the ECG during those times. I’ll get a bunch of PVC’s as well. I can deal with the tachycardia, but not the bradycardia. That’s when I feel myself constantly loosing consciousness then the tachycardia kicks in and I come right back then the bradycardia and it repeats until I get a HUGE adrenaline surge and hitch stabilizes me. Does this happen to you? My doctors don’t know what’s going on. I’ve even had episodes with low potassium. Probably from the constant peeing and sweating. I have to drink a ton of electrolytes. It’s crazy because I’ll full bladder pee like every 15 minutes in a day to not being able to completely empty my bladder. Ugh what a roller coaster ride. I just want to figure out the tachycardia/bradycardia episodes. They happen even when I’m just sitting around and relaxing. Laying down doesn’t make it go away. Only the adrenaline surge stops it

    Brain fog feels like a concussion without the extreme mood swings. I’ve had a few concussions so I’m familiar with brain fog from both conditions. Have you ever had a concussion? I can’t even think about driving when a brain fog hits or I will get lost or even worse get in an accident. Unfortunately I really can’t drive anymore because I get POTS attacks while driving. They don’t happen every time, just when driving for longer than an hour or so.

I had to have a picc line in for 2 yrs to keep me alive & they just removed it a few months ago. I am really struggling are there any new healing modalities for this?

    Thanks for what you are doing. I have had on and off symptoms for about 2 decades and was recently diagnosed. I am so amazed by the lack of knowledge on the part of Doctors that I have been to. There is little support in the Atlanta area, so I’m thankful for people like you that are willing to share their knowledge. Thanks again 🙏🏾

    Thank you for sharing you story! My daughter Patricia just turned 48 this month and she was diagnosed with dysautonomia back in March 2018. She's having a very bad day today. They doctor's haven't helped her either. She has a full time job, but is thinking about going on disability soon. God Bless You!

    • @lifewithdysautonomia360
      @lifewithdysautonomia360 2 года назад

      I’m sorry to hear that your daughter is having a rough time. She will learn that you can have good days and bad days. Sometimes the bad ones can last awhile. But if she is having more bad days then good she may be eligible for disability. It took me a few years to be eligible for disability. If she really thinks she can no longer work I recommend getting started on the disability soon. It’s a long lengthy process and almost everyone (even with different medical issues) are denied the first time around. I hired a disability lawyer to make the process easier. I wish her all the best! 🌹

    I was 10, my first time I fainted, I fainted 4-5 times a day. They said I had asthma. Mine came out of remission in 2020. We definitely should talk. I saw 14 cardiologists before there was one that would do the tilt table. Finally someone like me.

      Wow! I am shocked that they thought your symptoms were attributed to asthma! I am sorry to hear that you came out of remission. Unfortunately, this syndrome never really stays away for good. I have been very ill recently and unable to do another video but I am going to try my best to do one today or tomorrow to update everyone on what’s been going on with me. Please feel free to add me on Facebook (Lisa Abbas). Stay strong 💪🏼

BTW mine started with a miscarrage that kicked it off before that i was very active, I am 59 now and nothing has improved plus i to have been told i was a hypochondriac. blessings and best wishes to you and your family

      I am so sorry about your miscarriage. Sleep is horrible unfortunately. I take Trazadone 100mg and melatonin now and that has been helping me stay asleep. As for adrenal surges I honestly don’t think I have experienced that. Unfortunately I bet that everyone with dysautonomia has been told they are a hypochondriac at some point. It’s very frustrating! Many blessings to you and your family as will! Stay strong 💪🏼

    Thank you for sharing your deepest feelings and your rough journey with us. I wish there is something I could do to take away your pain. Crying with you as you cried. I was diagnosed with POTS six years ago and I totally understand what this feels like. My prayer is that God will comfort you and strengthen you and that your days of pain will soon come to an end, and in victory. I have been fighting the same feeling of helplessness and giving up especially when it seemed like everything I've tried, makes thing worse or has no effect. Please reach out if I can be of help. I have been bed bound for months now and the most I could do, was walk to my drive way or kitchen and back to bed. So sorry for your pain. God will be with you.

I have been much worse before and hospitalized for months but it’s just something about this that doesn’t feel right. My body feels very off and it’s hard to breathe at times. I pray everyday that we will have a cure! We can’t give up hope! Sending you well wishes as well!

    Hi there! I have dreadful brain fog from PoTS. I have some communication cards from the UK company stickman communications. If I have brain fog I can show a card. Or if I have to lie down I show a card. Its lovely to hear your story. It reminds me I'm not alone. I've had a rough week, and I've been so very tired. It's strange how all the dysautonomias are so similar in symptomology. I wish you all the best. Charlie from the UK. Xxx

If you’d like to subscribe to my channel you will then be able to get notices when I post new videos. I am hoping to do another one very soon. Just coming out of a flare up. So once I am feeling better I will be making more videos! Wishing you the best! Stay strong 💪🏼

    This is awesome! I’m not alone in this horrible illness. My symptoms are pretty bad- getting worse. My electrophysiologist has referred me to another electrophysiologist that deals more with autonomic dysfunction. My current doctor says my symptoms are much more than POTs. I have an electric wheelchair now, I get fluids at home. I’ve broken my arm twice from fainting- now it won’t heal. Doctor wants me to have surgery. I have a mass on my colon- another surgery. Can’t poop on my own. Skin cancer. On and on and on. This morning I dropped to the floor because I was going to faint- I’m getting good at catching it before I do. I wear a life alert necklace that detects falls etc. I was a respiratory care practitioner. I miss my job. Anyways , thank you for your new channel! Congratulations 🎉

      I wasn’t. I developed it at a young age. I don’t think anyone is born with it. I think it is usually brought on by something. They think mine was brought on by a severe case of mono when I was 9. Now a lot of people who had COVID are developing dysautonomia.

Been through everything you described since a very young age. You helped me because I am very discouraged I am LPN in long term care and want to continue but don't see that happened have had many doctors say it is in my head since a child. Loved your openedness

      I am so happy to hear that my video helped. I know exactly what you mean by feeling like you are not being heard. I felt like that for so many years until I finally took control and told doctors tests I wanted done and would try to explain symptoms with as much detail as possible. We are lucky that we are medical professionals and understand more then the normal patient so we have a little bit more pull in getting things done but this is also a reason why I wanted to start this channel. To help others understand what they are feeling and explain it that way they have the courage to be more assertive with doctors when asking for tests, answers etc.
