Time with family that I can never get back. Thank you so much for sharing this. I plan to broach the topic at my next cardiologist visit.

Then taken out and at one time drank so much water he had to have to go to hospital.I cannot tell you how awful he has endured this .

Same. It didn’t make my symptoms go away entirely but I would have periods of being almost bed bound for days to weeks before I stopped eating gluten. I do have celiac disease, confirmed by multiple doctors and tests so that is why. The autoimmune response would overwhelm my body and by proxy cause my pots to flare up badly. If you don’t have any underlying gluten intolerance or sensitivity I’m not sure how beneficial cutting out gluten would be for you. But sugar and refined carbohydrates in general are shown to cause pots symptom flares for whatever reason

IV saline worked well for me but wore off too fast. Due to dysphagia, I just got a feeding tube. The continuous influx of formula--which has nutrition, minerals, and fluid--has made my POTS the best it's been in years! I went from mostly bed bound to barely even noticing it now. This is such an awesome side effect of tube feeding that only took a few days. I think the improvement has everything to do with increased fluid/fluid retention. So this pill, if the side effects are tolerable, seems like it makes sense for an episodic boost.

So interesting to listen to you (again as always). I have POTS & connective tissue probs.

Thanks so very much for your time.
@abbigailcarr2725

I would think raw vegetables would be much worse for your stomach as POTS and hEDS or HSD can cause Gastroparesis and other digestive difficulty. Cooking usually breaks down the fiber a little to make it easier to digest. My own specialists have me on a high sodium low fiber diet myself. And I should think raw would literally murder me. Are you sure it’s cooking the food that makes you feel unwell? Perhaps it’s a certain type of oil? Or seasoning? Food intolerances can really set off and exacerbate POTS symptoms. I would really consider finding a dietician if your GP is no help. Bc clearly something in your previous diet was indeed causing POTS flares, but working with a dietician could help you find what exactly was doing it so that you can eat more food again. Im sorry but although youtubers often tout raw vegan diets as the cure all and the best diet ever, it is rarely medically advised, ESPECIALLY for people with digestive issues. I am vegan as well and even with cooking all my food, I was still told my my cardiologist and dietician that I was consuming too much fiber for someone with pots and heds. With connective tissue disorders especially raw vegan could actually be quite dangerous for you I really would not be doing that especially when no professional with medical or nutritional knowledge has advised you to do so. Seek out a professional who is not your GP, please, before you end up with blockages or on a feeding tube

I am 22 years old and 4 days ago went into SVT on and off for 4 hours. I ended up in the ER, and after thinking I wasn’t going to make it, I was discharged with 12.5 mg of metoprolol. I am having a lot of dizziness and overall anxiety about this new journey in my life. Since I am so young, I don’t want to live the rest of my life on BB, so I am opting for an ablation. Could you please make a video about your knowledge of SVT, it’s prognosis for young people, and the success rates after an ablation. Thank you in advance.

The 2nd half would have needed removal anyway due to a large nodule, but probably could have gotten a few more years out of it. Sigh.

Dr I spoke to you about my daughter. She has all the symptoms you just described but they diagnosed her with Intractable Migraine and Trigeminal Neuralgia and Fibromyalgia. She’s missed out on medical school because of this brain condition. She’s super smart but I think she has pots. They did the tilt test she barely passed. She’s dizzy when she tries to get out of bed she’s now always tired and barely eats because of constant nausea. She’s constantly having to go for a DHE infusion and she just spent 7 days in the hospital. It took 15 attempts to get an iv in and even her pic line failed. They ended up sedating her to put a hard line directly into her heart. She’s my only daughter and I don’t want to lose her. She’s in her late 20’s and has no friends and never really got to date. It’s too late for her to be a neurosurgeon but she would like to be a music therapist for people with brain trauma. She is an excellent classical pianist and also composes her own music since she was 8yrs old. Her thyroid has been checked for hyper and hypo but the came back normal. Do you think I should take her to a cardiologist to see if it’s a cardio problem because her heart beat resting is very high and she’s always very tired. She loves learning and everyone who sees her says she should go back to premed, with her nearly identic memory she memorized everything easily and including music. If I don’t get her help soon I’m terrified she might commit suicide. She’s needs her life back! I can only be her mom and she feels guilty that I have to help her so much and my 90yr old mother. She’s losing so much weight I can clearly see her collar bones and she’s only 5’2” can you tell me what kind of dr she should see next. If you saw her you wouldn’t believe it because she is very beautiful and has long hair and gorgeous smile. She is a strong person but lately she’s been very depressed Despite all this she hopes to go back to school.for now she is forced to spend most of her time alone in bed. She does not drink or drug my being a police officer helps but she has a lot of integrity and rarely can get out because she’s so dizzy and nauseous. What kind of dr should she see now? By the way she has a therapist and goes to group therapy too. Last but not lease she is very well provided for. Can you make any new suggestions? We’re really desperate, this time she ended leaving the hospital with a deep vein thrombosis that was a direct result of one of the 15 iv botches. So now she has to be on blood thinners too. I know you’re very busy but if you find time could you get back to me? I’m susan my daughter is Angel. Thank for so kindly helping so many people. Have a restful night and a brilliant day!!

What about for someone who has been diagnosed with dysautonomia but not pots per say? From what my cardiologist told me, I have the cousin of pots. Basically my heart rate isn’t racing but my blood pressure drops resulting in extreme dizziness and and I’m having PVCs as well. At first, he thought I had tachy Brady syndrome but after an EP study was done that was negative. I’ve been on fludrocortisone for about two months now and hasn’t seemed to help all that much and has introduced some side effects. The brain fog and “loopyness” can be exhausting. Also important to note that my ears began a constant ring right around when this all started and hasn’t gone away. Whole process has been going on for about 7 months. It’s almost a shoulder shrug response when I go to the doctor because there’s not much else they can do. Hoping to find answers!

Hi doc. I was hospitalized for this issue exactly and got released with beta blockers home. The doctors laughed at me when I offered that it might be pots. But my issue when I stood up my heart rate jumped to 200 bpm and I even passed out at one occasion in the hospital. They again ruled it out to anxiety... I can barely walk or do anything I'm always tired and I don't know what to do. The beta blockers are helping a little but I'm still heavily disabled. update: i got diagnosed with pots 2 years after this comment was made

Go to a different doctor. We have been struggling for 8 yrs for my daughter. It took us 3 years to find the right doctor. We had seen 4 cardiologists, and other doctors. Finally a neurologist has helped us. Some people go to a rheumatologist. I find that most cardiologists dont help

Fludrocortisone plus pyrodistigmine helps my daughter. Gatorade (we will look into electrolyte tablets) propranolol when her heart is beating too fast, no grain no dairy diet, fruit baby food when gastrointestinal problems occur, exercise peddler she can sit on a chair and do, yerba mate for brain fog. Compression socks, we ordered pretty patterned, knee length ones from a catalog, lots of water. Liquid iron, magnesium, vit D, turmeric for aching. We bought powder and fill the capsules ourselves. (Much cheaper) Hope this helps everyone. It has been a difficult journey. There definitely needs to be more help out there

Sounds like a great idea! However, I take Florinef (fludrocortisone). Would it be safe to take this on special occasions while also on florinef?

I think my electrophysiologist is all sorts of mixed up. I finally received a POTS diagnosis last month but the physician with no bedside manners physically tossed a prescription for flecianide at me with no follow up involved. Wondering if he intended it as a similar "pill in a pocket". As a medical assistant myself, it does not seem like it would be a preferred daily medication even though I cannot handle beta blockers (on digoxin)

Probably, but be sure to hydrate well. Flying will dehydrate you fast.

What if you only have POTS when accidentally dehydrated?

Then it is not POTS. POTS is only diagnosed after 6 months of symptoms and after ruling out other issues like structural heart issues.
