    There is so much more to this syndrome. I take offense at “patient complains” how about, “patient presents with.” There is such a lack of understanding on doctors’ part; we really need people to listen to us, perhaps strive to find underlying causes, and a tad of compassion and understanding go a long way. After all I’ve gone through over the last 15+ years, I’ve lost a lot of faith in doctors 😢

      @@graniabenge2814 I hope you can understand that the use of the word ‘complain’ to a chronically ill person can be extremely damaging to their mental health. Especially when you consider most chronically ill women get medically gaslit often by male doctors. Yes it may be an interpretation, but when has the word complain ever meant anything good?? A coworker goes to their manager to express their ‘concerns’ about you, when the manager comes to you they say your coworker has been complaining about you… it hurts emotionally but the intention was originally from a place of concern. do you see the difference? Where they both mean the same thing but can actually have a negative impact when used in the wrong situation.

      I had a tilt table test done. They kept me laying down for 30 minutes (strapped in of course), then they finally tilted the table. The tilt was so slow that nothing happened. I'm talking almost 2 minutes to tilt the table from 180° to 90°. They told me to eat salt and so yoga. Fast forward 3 years, I now have a Cardiac alert service dog for my POTS.

    Now I’m really confused. I’ve been dealing with this passing out thing basically since I got pregnant for my daughter. My doctor actually told me to look up what POTS was, I had no idea what it was before hand. I just knew that passing out every time in the shower makes life very hard.
    They gave me a heart EKG thing that I press every time I feel like lightheaded or I’m going to pass out. I don’t even have an official diagnosis yet but this whole process feels pretty official to me?
    I actually didn’t think it was that serious, but my doctor said that it is not normal to pass out when you stand up. I also have a lot of other weird health problems. That’s why I did not believe it was that serious because I thought it was related to something else.
    Is there a good video explaining what this disorder actually is and how to live with it properly?

    Hi Dr. Just a quick question. The criteria regarding POTS and the rasing/elevated Heart Rate upon standing is quite unclear. So my question is: should the heart rate be manitained @ >30 beats per minute uppn standing and for how long should it be maintained? (E.g if your HR increases to > 30 beats per minite but in the next minute it drops to below 30 beats and steadily decreases to a normal range within 3 minutes. Does this still fullfill the criteria or do you need to maintain the >30 beats for the time you are standing?) thank you for this channel you are creating such massive awareness. Respect to ypu sir!

    • @renu653

    Most doctors are dismissive, aloof and generally not interested.

    No when patients stand they get said symptoms, there's muscle instability, tremors, hot sweats, chest pains, passing out & an increased heart rate yes are symptoms but that's not all too it. The sickness that's been no reason till then, the excessive bleeding it can cause. Juat because some patients only have said symptoms a lot of us have a lot more than that.

      @annie.hi. pots is an inherited issue, and goes hand in hand with other issues, along with having pots, I also have celiac diesease, ehlers-danlos-syndrome, and Mast-cell -ctivation-syndrome. Some of these issues like ehlers-danlos-syndrome goes back hundreds of years.

      Ya, that is not how it works. What he is describing is similar to nauseousness, big word describing a symptom people feel. If you ever felt nauseated in your life? Then you are a hypochondriac? Ridiculous …
      POTS is a symptom of a bigger problem. I had pots as a teen because I was on a doctors order, for an extremely reduced salt diet.
      Was I making up pots or purposely causing myself to faint? And almost faint on a tilt test? NO!
      I was born with a narrow Aorta and a Hole in my heart.
      Many people who have pots have physical heart problems and/or EDS, or Post Covid symptoms.
      Do your research please.
      Just because you can not see it with your eyes does not mean it is not real.
      In fact that attitude is dangerous.
      I had people in my life push me past my physical limit, more than once, outside of the medical world because they did not believe a young person, of good weight, who looked well-ish, could surely not have serious heart issues. That theory is beyond dangerous and factually incorrect. And beyond critically dangerous.

      Lastly and my final statement. After brexit in 2022 there was a shortage of 11,000 physicians in the nhs. And here in America we have a massive shortage as well. The idea that a physician would feel the need to make happy and “feed a faker” to acquire money for appointments, financially for a living is absolutely insane. And factually invalid.
      But cool … you do you 😎
