Was there anything you said or did that helped your primary doctor help take your concern about having POTS seriously?
I’m seeing a new primary doctor this month and have serious concerns that I have POTS. My last doctor told me it was all anxiety and wanted to push multiple anxiety medications on me without any testing or listening to me.
I’ve always had a lot of health issues but since moving to a humid southern state a few years ago my symptoms have worsened drastically which led to doing a ton of research on my own and POTS seems to explain all my symptoms.
I was debating if should journal my heart rate the week before I go in? I keep track of it on my watch. Typically it’ll be in the 80s when sitting. The second I stand up and walk even to my kitchen it’s in the low to mid 100s. The second I try to do anything (sweeping, walking my dog etc) it’s in the mid 100s to low 200s.
