    I am a licensed mental health provider and it makes me so upset when male "doctors" tell women their physiological symptoms are just "anxiety" and don't even consider a physical medical ailment. Obviously, anxiety can cause physical reactivity but anxiety and physical conditions are not mutually exclusive. I want to scream for you! Thank you for calling him out and advocating for yourself and getting another opinion! Also, I am familiar with POTS, but not Hyper-POTS or the ANA test you mentioned. Thank you for sharing!

      I must say I disagree with your statement. It is not just "male" doctors assuming a female's symptoms are related to stress/anxiety. As a male myself, I went through a period that I was at my primary caregiver's office once a week and at the local emergency room just as much. I was treated by female and male doctors, both could not tell me what was wrong with me and explained it as anxiety. I am also a registered nurse so I knew something was wrong and I'd never had an issue with anxiety. This went on for months until finally, one doctor cared enough to investigate. I don't believe it is a male or female doctor issue instead, it is an issue of the doctor having no idea what is going on and it is easier for them to diagnose anxiety than to tell you they have no idea what is going on. It also seems that once a doctor diagnoses you with anxiety every new issue will be related to anxiety in their eyes. They see anxiety in your chart and they get stuck on the anxiety cycle. BTW it wasn't anxiety in my case. Anxiety was used as a diagnosis so they could push me out the door as a nonemergency and free up a room.

What may have escaped you was, this my response to a female sharing her medical story.

    I completely identify with you Sarah and all the women who shared their story.
    I am a 73yr old woman and 50yrs ago I was in the hospital for severe pain in my
    my abdomen. After 1 week of tests I was told that it was psychological and sent home
    1 week later I was rushed to surgery because I could not stand the pain.
    They found that I had a growth in my abdomen that had ruptured. The diagnosis was
    Endometriosis. The “Medical Profession “ did not check for this condition. Why, because
    women all had cramps “that time of the month” and some women just were not strong enough
    to handle it.
    The lesson I learned from this
    Keep going till you find a Dr who LISTENS.
    Sarah I wish you to find a diagnosis and a cure.❤❤❤

    So glad you finally found someone who heard you. My sweet daughter in law has been dealing with the same issue for almost 2 years now. Started 6 months after she had covid. The only difference is she randomly passes out with her. She has been told it is all psychosomatic and she needed a psych eval. Was told that while she was lying there passed out and was tyachacardic. A few months ago, an er nurse gave us the most sound advice of all. She said, you have to be a a strong advocate for yourself because this tends to be a women’s disease and it is a man’s world regarding the medical field. She said until a lot more men begin developing these issues and a lot more women in the medical field and specialize in it that is how it stands. So yeah nurses! They know so much! Finally we have some diagnosis, POTS being one, but still have a long way to go. Good luck to you on your journey.

      Women and our partners need to understand the extent to which we HAVE to advocate for ourselves. Often when we’re already struggling physically. Men who are in relationships with women, please understand this. We ARE treated very differently than you by the healthcare system; you CANNOT interpret things the same way as if it were happening to you, because you are much more likely to be believed, treated appropriately and to have research backing up YOUR care. It’s only been in the last decade or two since women have been accepted into non-OB/GYN research trials. Please be ready to not allow your female partner to be brushed off even if you have to be a jerk about it.
      Don’t believe me? Typical. OK, just in case I’m “lying” or “over-reacting” 🙄, ask a few of your female friends and colleagues about their encounters with healthcare.

      YES!! They did that to my cousin who finally got to a hospital while having an episode, previously they’d ended before a medical professional could check her out, and this time her heart rate was in heart attack territory. Turns out she’d had a congenital defect that went undiagnosed until it began causing these problems. A quick procedure later, she’s fine. But those many misdiagnoses of “panic attacks” could have literally killed her.

Now It's a different thing, it went to bradichardia after I got covid so now I have pacemaker implanted after all the surgeries and covid.

    Sarah, I am praying that you get answers STAT. I had a similar story to you. I was experiencing this excruciating pain in the mid - semi upper part of the left side of my rib cage. I went to dozens of doctors / hospitals / Emergency Rooms in 3 different states, and each person I saw basically said they had NO clue what the situation was, they ccouldn't find anything wrong with me. I had more x rays than I can count, multiple CT scans, 3+ MRI's, and was still told that there was nothing wrong with me. This went on for 18 YEARS, Sarah. 18 YEARS. Finally, last year (last year was year 18, I am currently in year 19), a doctor at a hospital in rural Northeast Michigan took x rays and did a CT scan, and FINALLY found a hiatal hernia AND a congenital hernia on my diaphragm. I have been going around in circles trying to find a surgeon who would operate on me to correct the hernias. Thankfully, I have an appointment with one that I have a good feeling will actually operate on me. A couple months ago, the pain got worse and the area where I was experiencing the pain got bigger- it covered alot more surface area, and it was so bad that the doctor at the E.R. I went to a couple months ago barely touched me and I started screaming in pain so loudly you could hear me 3/4 of the way down a long hallway. An updated CT scan showed I also have an enlarged spleen. When I spoke to my PCP about THAT, she said that the enlarged spleen was showing up on every CT scan I had had done over the last few years. NOBODY TOLD ME UNTIL MARCH 2023!!!!!!!!! My PCP said it was nothing to worry about, but I am going to ask the surgeon I have an appointment with in a few weeks what HIS opinion is on the situation, and see if HE thinks I should have it removed or not, because I am not sure I really trust my PCP too much at this stage, seeing as that she has kept that crucial piece of info from me for like 3-4 YEARS. The enlarged spleen is the bigger of the reasons behind all the pain I am in, but the 2 hernias are making the pain situation considerably worse.
    I tell you all this partly to show that I understand what you, Sarah, are going through, and partly to encourage you and ALL your followers to advocate for themselves medically. And if someone can't advocate for themselves, I encourage you and / or your followers to find someone who can fiercely advocate for you so that you don't suffer, and that you get the CORRECT diagnosis and treatment by the CORRECT doctor(s), who actually knows what they are doing and aren't some hick from nowhere who got his or her medical degree from their child's cereal box as a "prize". I pray you get well soon, Sarah, and all of your followers who are experiencing serious medical issues

    I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling like this, I hope you’ll be able to figure it out soon now! Just wanted to put it out there that you should check if they tested your vitamin B12 levels when they checked your blood. I presented with similar symptoms (orthostatic tachycardia, extreme fatigue, tingling/tremor in arm and hand, memory problems, brain fog) and went to the doctor for suspected POTS, B12 came back deficient so I started frequent injections and the symptoms have started to clear. It’s possible to get symptoms when your levels are in the grey area (where you’re slightly above deficient) and it can be auto-immune, pernicious anaemia.

    I didn't know you were both fellow RNs! I'm a Registered Mental Health Nurse (UK).
    Sarah, that sounds like a frightening experience. I experienced something similar with a gastric ulcer (It's just anxiety, night duty, stress... OMG! I can't climb the stairs!!!).
    I honestly believed I was going to die, whilst waiting for the ambulance I sat in my porch because the slightest activity made my muscles burn.
    I can truly empathise with that panic that 'this is it!' - I wish you a speedy and fulfilling recovery!

    Oh wow Sarah...I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. I experienced the same symptoms right before being diagnosed with lupus. I had severe tachycardia in my sleep where I would be jolted awake as well; I had rashes on my neck, midriff, legs, etc. I eventually had fevers too, and experienced alopecia one or two years after diagnosis although I don't know if that was due to stress or lupus. For me, food triggers my flares, so whenever I eat junk or anything with high saturated fats, I get rashes and arthritic pain. Mine is genetic because my younger sister was diagnosed first. Her symptoms showed up in different order though - she experienced hair loss and edema first.
    I hope you find the information you need! Thanks for sharing your personal experience. You're super strong for being able to talk about it.

    I had those symptoms and it was panic attacks real bad and still do. Mine was always at 2am. All you do is focus on your heart beat and your breathing. Multiple times I had to call 911. Test after test, cat scans blood work. Everything your saying is exactly what I have. The shaking is bad I can’t be in cold environments because it triggers it.

    I'm so glad you're alright! ♥️ Two years of what MD's said were panic attacks. Heartbeat was no less than 250 bpm, no lie! Finally, I blacked out, heart rate very high, three times I was hospitalized for stress. Turns out it was Super-ventricular tachycardia. My last one occurred at a well-known department store. I bent over to pick up a pair of gloves that had fallen on the floor. I couldn't stand all the way up, so I laid down on the floor. I honestly felt like I was having a heart attack. Paramedics came and I've been fine ever since. You just never know! I'll be praying for you guys!

I’ve never been the same since. I could be cleaning or sitting randomly and have sharp chest pain out of no where that isn’t anxiety related. It’s just so random. My simple workouts have never felt harder or simple tasks like you said. I hope the doctors figure out what it is and how to help those suffering from it.

    I’m so sorry for what you’re going through!! It was hard for me to even listen to your symptoms because I have suffered these exact symptoms for almost 25 yrs now. I’m sure you’re probably getting a lot of people commenting different things, but I promise, I have those exact symptoms. Dragging myself out of bed, the constant heart racing, and being so short of breath..etc. mine started in my mid 20’s, 26. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 30, because firstly I was diagnosed with horrible anxiety disorder! I heard you mention an autoimmune disorder and MS as a possibility, well I was diagnosed with MD, which is Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. You cannot tell by looking at me, and it comes on adults in their mid to late 20’s, with a 50 year progression period. Not saying that’s what you have at all. I just hate to see another person go through literal years to figure it out. If nothing else, a good Neurologist can at least rule some of these autoimmune diseases out for you. Good luck and God Bless!! 🙏🏼✨🍀

    i felt those sensations exactly as you were describing them… i was diagnosed with POTS two months ago and have shown consistent symptoms for years upon years. my symptoms got so much worse after covid bc of the steroids i was put on to help my lungs, which was wrecking my heart. 🫣 a lot of my POTS friends have recommended getting in contact with any nearby support group to connect with others who know to a T what you’re going through! (there are lots of support groups in large population areas) dysautonomia is no joke, especially when it comes to keeping up with daily life. it’s definitely made me take a step back from things, but the slow pace and gratitude this lifestyle brings is so sweet. 🫶🫶
    i was cleared from MS since symptoms with both are similar. so please keep us updated on other things they rule out!! hoping you meet the most approachable, understanding, and wise healthcare staff on this journey that will make it a lil easier

  • @sazji
    @sazji Год назад +1

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. Not knowing what's going on is often as hard as the symptoms themselves--when our self-preservation instincts kick in, the mind can go crazy looking for answers, and it can fill in the blanks with that feeling that we're gonna die. Then if you didn't have an anxiety attack before, you can have one on top of it all. (Happened to me, and even after things were properly diagnosed and resolved, it took a while for me to unlearn that response.)
    I wish you the best, both of you, and hope you have a quick recovery! ❤

    Sorry you are dealing with this too. So many people (esp. young women) have POTS and they still tell them they're having a panic attack or it's anxiety. Makes me so mad!
    We really hope that research moves faster now as covid has increased the numbers of people affected.
    Also, please look up MECFS. Doesn't mean you have it, but if you did, it would be important to not overexert yourself. It's tricky to realize you have it, because worsening of symptoms usually comes with a delay of about 1 day.
