What is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome? Part One

Ha, ha! This is such a great video. Thanks for making it!
I've got ME (CFS) of which dysautonomia (often POTS) is part.
It's so frustrating to deal with Miss Ignorance!
But now everytime Miss Ignorance says something dumb to me I think of your video and it makes me smile rather than wanting to strangle, so again, thanks!
Keep the vids coming.

omg! i am in central jersey. i miss school ALL THE TIME and people think I'm making this whole thing up! i too am on midodrine, its only helping a little. no one understands why i can be fine one day and not the next. they think that just because i look fine that i should feel fine. i haven't felt good in years! POTS really sucks. does anyone know any good doctors that are helping them get a handle on it? i'd love to talk to someone who understands.

if you think you have this syndrome, ask your doctor to do a tilt table test, that is how I got diagnosed after many years and many frustrating doctors visits

Oh my goodness! I have POTS too, and it's ruining my life! I was diagnosed with it 2 years ago. You've got a lot of good info here! Thank you so much for helping spread the word about this disease! I am actually so sick with POTS that I can not attend school, and must use a wheelchair when I go to any store. =( I am currently on Midodrine, and it's not helping me at all do far. I am going to see an autonimoc specialist soon, and request to try saline IVs as a possible treatment.

I've just been diagnosed with POTS. Thanks for this video, it's really helpful

I also have some great tips for handling pots symtoms so if ur interested just message me. of course what works for me may not work for u but its all trial and error but its worth a try!

What a great video, i love that humor is included! ive had pots since i was a little kid, now im a big kid (25) and im just starting to get a handle on it! lol thanks for making such great videos! keep it up =D

I have been dealing with orthostatic hypotension for that last few months, and its destroying my life.

I H8 THIS

Hi I live in North Cape May and just read your ad in The Press of Atlantic City. I was diagnosed at least over a year ago. No one gets it. I look fine but never feel fine. I see Dr Nanavati in Court House. I would love to talk to you. I am on heart med and spariva. I am better now but still get the chest pain if I do too much or get up too quickly. I have stairs and if I run up too quickly I get the pains cause of the pooling of blood. I would love to help

I am in CMCH. I have it too!!! Lets talk!!! I saw her article in the press too!!!
