My doctors just brush me aside despite being diagnosed?
I’ve been to multiple cardiologists and every time I’ve gotten told to just use compression, exercise, sodium, etc. In my experience compression and sodium just worsens my symptoms. I told this to my most recent doctor, along with the fact that I exercise mostly with a mix of walking, yoga, pilates, doctor then told me to ‘just exercise more.’ end of appointment, NOTHING else! I have a very high heart rate and bp pretty much constantly at this point. Every time I go to a new doctor I just want to finally get help with my symptoms. Everything that can be done at home I have done, and more. I’ve cut back any and all caffeine, low sugar, eat healthy, exercise, hydrate excessively, electrolytes, etc. and nothing is getting better. I’m diagnosed with POTS and yet i’m still just brushed aside. I just really don’t get it. I do everything they tell me and it isn’t working, and then I get told to just….. do it more? I guess I’m just frustrated and I’m at a loss here on how to get someone to believe me that I need help.
