At risk of sounding terribly stupid, I am asking if anyone can help me track down a quote (and its source) that I barely remember. It made quite an impression on me at the time, but clearly not that much because all I remember are the words "neurotic" and "river". Something about how you wouldn't call a river neurotic for following its natural path, maybe??? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Naturally the one day I actually want to have a bad symptom day I feel physically better than I have in weeks, months even. I've barely been dizzy all day and didn't even crack 120bpm from walking quickly on a warm day (according to my fitbit), which normally makes my HR skyrocket!! I know the Holter isn't used to diagnose POTS, but I'm honestly freaking out that the specialist my GP is referring me to is going to see this data and say "tachycardia? what tachycardia??" 😭😭 Anyone else get miraculously cured by wearing a Holter monitor?? Was your doctor understanding about it?

Hello, I am in the process of trying to figure out if I have POTS with my doctor. I was just curious to know what other people's heart rates do after standing for a while (let's say over 10 minutes)?

Since I've been keeping a closer eye on my heart rate (just on my fitbit, so I'm not sure how accurate that is but it's what I've got to work with right now) I have noticed that while it does spike 40-45bpm when going from lying to standing (usually from around 75bpm to 120bpm), sometimes when I have been standing for a while, it seems to be settled around 90bpm.

Not asking for anyone to interpret my heart rate, but I was wondering what other people experience. Is your heart rate always above 100bpm when standing? Does it consistently stay significantly raised or settle down after standing for a while?
