if my pulse goes from 88 to 150 upon standing and then stays between 130 to 140 for 30 seconds that could indicate POTS right?
#literally a decade since a paramedic told me I have POTS#but every doctor I've seen since is just like “nah”#and rolls their eyes when i mention it#i have almost constant lightheadedness now#palpitations#sometimes i actually faint#shortness of breath#my vision often goes fuzzy and grey around the edges (different to my migraines)#i have mottled purple legs and extreme fatigue#POTS#postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome#chronic illness#which is very annoying#seems worse if i take a hot bath#exercise#eat basically anything#stand in one place for a while#it's worse just before my period#i also developed a bunch of new allergies this past year
