Having POTS is annoying

I don't feel good. Every time I stand up to fast I get light headed and dizzy. My heart rate is really high. I'm drinking a liquid IV, sitting in front of a fan and took a pill to help. My head is pounding as well. Hopefully it will calm down in a few minutes.

It’s so hard especially when doctors refuse to diagnose you with it when you have ALL the symptoms just “add more salt to your diet” uh my heartrate went to 195 just standing up? “It’s normal for young women. Um? No the fuck that’s not!

@MommaBear yeah it's frustrating. I just stood up and my heart raced and I got so dizzy I almost fell. I do get tired of them saying just drink some electrolytes and wait it out

@Cigarguy101 they literally caught it on heart monitor but said it’s “normal”
