POTS - Mayo Clinic

My doctor, when I was first a POTS patient, put me on a beta blocker and it sent me to the hospital for a week. The doctors never believe me that I need fluids to feel better, for whatever reason. One time, in my sleep, I kicked the blanket off my leg because I was getting hot, and my heart rate went from 110 to 180 like THAT. It helps to eat salty snacks and drink TONS of fluids. I'm there for you.

I have POTS, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, and.... that thing you use Lyrica for. My life sucks, too. But you are one of the first people with POTS I can truly feel sorry for. Hang in there.

I have POTS, but I have lots of other conditions too. Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromialgya.... but I don't know how to spell that last one. So I go in and out of depression and stuff. My mom always tells me I'll grow out of it.... I sure hope you're right about this.

You can "grow-out" of POTS? I am guessing there is no explanation for why this is? Seems we keep allocating our scientific resources toward treating hair loss, acne and ED over understanding stuff like this.

Have a daughter with EDS (Ehlers/Danlos Syndrome) who suffers with POTS too. NOT FUN. So sad about all the times we didn't understand.

I love Megan!!! :)
shes a friend of mine I met freshman year. and she really battled with the symptoms. but she is better now. and I'm so happy for that!!!!

I am 37 and still have this. Why do they say she will grow out of it at 20. I know their is an elderly and childhood. I got the elderly type at 7 fainting started and no meds help. I wonder why they don't know why they do not explain why so many of us have it as old as we are? Like Sarah who was a marine. Your vagus nerve does not just get fixed???

This is what I'm most afraid of. I'm 13. Mom says ill grow outa it. I never believe her though. I have a feeling I'm gonna be just like you. No offense.

man all these years I forced myself though this with whining parents and now they say it's a syndrom? I should check with a doctor ...
