Not formally diagnosed but all signs point to hyper pots for me.

In the last week or so during meditation or rest I get an immediate burning sensation in my upper chest (mostly to right side). This isn't subtle, it's like an instant trigger as soon as my body feels like it's going into rest and digest it's like acid releases inside me.

Just wondering if anyone has had anything similar or if anyone knows what's going on.

Thanks

My GP suspects I have POTS. I meet the diagnostic criteria for Hyper pots and I'm waiting to see a cardiologist. I've been on Ivabradine for a month and it's definitely helped my heart rate but it hasn't touched my other symptoms - extreme fatigue on standing, blood pressure spike and feeling wired.

So my question is, if Ivabradine has done its thing and fixed my heart rate why do I still feel terrible? Is it the blood pressure spike that's making me feel like this? Should I be asking for something to target bp specifically? Should I be on something more tailored to hyper pots?

I'm pretty new to all of this and it's a bit overwhelming. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and get back on my feet.

Thanks.
