Should I ask my doctor to check for pots ?
I'm really sorry I don't think I have pots.
Last Wednesday I was away from home and in the middle of the night at 3am ( couldn't sleep but was laying still) I got a notification saying my heart was super high but I wasn't moving ( 154)
So I call the NHS they sent me to doctors and then a and e they said they think I have an infection( they did an ecg an xray and ct scan). Gave me antibiotics I felt sick all week ( though I did feel fine when my heart rate was high, but I had nerve damage in my shoulder at the same time so that hurt)
Everything I eat I feel like I'm going to vomit. I thought it might be the antibiotics but I finished them yesterday and I still feel super nauseous.
My heart rate is still going super high but only when I move now so like getting dressed or getting out of bed.
I know this is stupid but I Saw a video on tick tock ( because being on my phone is all I have been able to do) and there was a comic skit about pots and I was thinking. How dose pots start? Could my inffection have caused this?
My GP has ordered a tape test for 3 weeks tome the doctor in the hospital said it was urgent ( I think because my inflationary markers in my blood were also super high)
I don't want to go back to hospital. But I'm not sure ignoring this is a good idea either because it's my heart. Seems important. ( also I do t want to be in bed foe a month or more if I can help it)
I'm 40 and female if that helps.
