Not feeling great

Today has been a struggle I've had a horrible headache and feeling sick to my stomach. I'm also freezing cold and every time I get up I feel a little light headed. And I am so anxious right now I don't know why. I messaged my doctor and he said it's just the joys of having pots and to drink lots of water and take an extra propranolol with lunch. So I guess that's what I'll do for now.

No, it sounds to me like your thyroid since you sometimes freeze because that's what I do but I keep that under control with a special supplement you can buy over the counter. Sounds to me like you need that really bad. It wouldn't hurt to try and it couldn't hurt you. It is called i-Thyroid and you can order it online. It's a wonderful supplement. I've taken it for years now for my thyroid and you only take it once a day and it doesn't upset your stomach.

@LadyGrace I've never had my thyroid checked out. I'll have to bring it up to my doctor next time I see him
@Cigarguy101 Before you do, there's one thing you need to do before you see him about it. And it is a foolproof way to show if you have a bad thyroid. I used this test on myself and it is super accurate I don't care what they say. I've done my research very thoroughly on this. Here's how to tell if you have a bad thyroid and it's important you follow these directions precisely. It's not hard.

Use a regular old fashioned thermometer. The digital ones are not trustworthy! I don't care what they say. They are not.

Keep a notepad and pen by your bed.
Take your temperature as soon as you wake up: Before getting out of bed, while you're still resting. do this first thing in the morning and write down the date and time and temperature reading. Don't eat or drink before you take it. Take your temperature in the morning and then in the evening before you go to bed. It's very important. Don't miss. Do this for at least 10 days but 20 would be ideal. It would be more accurate and then you can have proof that your thyroid is not functioning well. Then at the end of say 20 days, you can show that list to your doctor. That's what I did and he really appreciated it. It left no doubt that I was hypothyroid. It's not hard to do and it only takes a minute and it's well worth it for your health. I would not take the synthetic thyroid medicine if you have hypothyroidism. I think it's important to take that product I told you about. You can get it online from RLC Labs. You would only need to take one a day and it will cure your hypothyroidism. It's important that you have a combination of iodine and IoDIDE and this is the only product that has it that I know of. I buy the 12.5 mg with 90 capsules.

Keep the thermometer accessible: Keep it at your bedside to minimize movement that could alter the reading.

Consistent timing: Take your temperature at the same time each morning.

Track your readings: Record your temp daily and note any trends, such as consistently low or high temperatures.
@Cigarguy101 yes get your thyroid checked. My health got a lot better once I had mine removed (I had cancer tho) but the thyroid meds I’m on even tho it’s synthetic helped a lot

I had those same symptoms for our last holiday weekend. It turned out to be COVID. I'd have it checked out further if I were you.

@IM5688 we have a medical fragile child so we take covid and flu tests weekly so I know it wasn't that. Pretty sure I was just having a bad day with pots
Oh honey I'm sorry you're suffering and feel so bad. I'll keep you in my prayers. Please get well soon. 🫂

There are two acupressure tricks that MIGHT help a tiny bit. Take the thumb of one hand, and rub it in circles in the area between your thumb and your forefinger on the opposite hand. THAT is supposed to help a tiny bit with headaches.

The nausea...there are two major tendons on your wrists. Gently massage your wrist BETWEEN those tendons. It MIGHT help a tiny bit.

@4meAndyou thanks for the suggestions I will give it a try

Do you supplement electrolytes with POTS? I know people with POTS need a lot of salt.
rokrchik1211 · 31-35, F
@Cigarguy101 I hope it helps.
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
@rokrchik1211 it really did, I still have a headache but everything else is feeling good
rokrchik1211 · 31-35, F
@Cigarguy101 that’s great! Glad you’re feeling a lot better
