- Are you struggling with heart rate changes from laying down to standing?
It's time to pay attention to your resting heart rate as well.
If your HR is elevated to begin with can mean something very different than if your HR is low when resting then rises a lot.
You might be dealing with something called inappropriate sinus tachycardia.
Knowing which one you have, or if you have both, is crucial as it completely changes the treatment approach.
Thank you.
I never knew there's a difference 😳
Pots is so tricky to understand/get diagnosed
I’ve now been told by 3 doctors that the diagnosis doesn’t matter and treatment is the same. Sadly 9 months symptomatic and no treatment yet.
I was told the same thing...IV saline treatment (typical POTS treatment) had an adverse effect on me and swelled me up for days. It feels hopeless
Interesting. Thank you
I’ve had a fast heart for years now. I’ve completely given up on gettting help because I’m just fat and anxious apparently. I was almost died laughing once when me and my friends where walking up a piss of amount of stairs and my heart COULD NOT it was going 190-200 (Apple Watch) and I just started saying things like “omg these stars are really getting my heart going” “oh they are giving me such fear” “I see stairs and I’m like GOWD DAMN”
I was crying, basically crawling and laughing all at the same time.
But please remember I’m simply anxious and fat.
It passed after sitting for like 20 minutes at the top of the stairs. I was miles away from home and I just couldn’t be bothered going hospital just to be called fat so I played it down to my friends but my heart was going rapid. I was also sweating buckets and red as a tomato. Only told them later and they where like “how are you not dead” good question my friend good question.
Currently, my resting heart rate is between **50 and 60 beats per minute**. I have bouts of tachycardia that occur upon waking, sometimes several times during the night. During these episodes, my heart rate can rise to about **100 to 110 beats per minute** when lying down and up to **170 beats per minute** when standing up. Lying down seems to help reduce the duration of these crises.
I have undergone an ECG and an electrophysiological exploration of the heart. I also wore a holter, but unfortunately, it did not record any episode of tachycardia. My blood test is normal.
I dont know What I Can think
Well clearly you are exhibiting something, and generally speaking it’s good that all of those came back negative because it means your heart is healthy! What we need to look into now is the underlying issue of your tachycardia. You can get a tilt table test done with a doppler ultrasound to ensure blood flow to the head isn’t being restricted. Unfortunately when it comes to dysautonomia and POTS it’s a lot of just ruling things out before you can find that root cause. hopefully this helped give you some direction!
@dockeiser what dr. Would I go to to test for pots?
I have both thanks to hEDS 😭
💔🙁🤗
There are times, usually waking up in the morning, my resting heartrate will be between 65-80. Then, as soon as I move my body ti shift, it shoots up to 106bpm. Im not sure what that means...
I do n have chronic AFib too
When I was a preteen, I was diagnosed with POTS after I was put under anesthesia and my heart rate was spiking and blood pressure dropping. Since then, most of my very long symptom list lined up with pots, but it has gotten less postural-based as I aged. Was I possibly misdiagnosed, or is it very possible I could have both? Without medication, my heart rate will commonly spike to 150 while I am sleeping. But so many of my weird neurological problems fit POTS so well.
I have POTS only.
POTS pour out the syrup
