    It sucks that you have it but I'm glad that you finally got a diagnosis. It took me 15 years to get my diagnosis. Stay strong!

    So glad that you finally got your diagnosis! I know it has to be a sigh of relief! It definitely helps, I'm sure, to finally know & be able to get treatment. I'm happy for ya girl! Thanks for the update. Much love 💜

    I don't know how you did that treadmill. That had my hr going just watching you, knowing what you are going through. Kudos! Cool of them to let you film and that the Dr did that at the end.

    I'm so happy you finally have answers. This must be a huge relief. :)
    On the other hand this video makes me so sad. I completely understand why you HAD to film every aspect of your journey to a diagnosis. If you hadn't, people still would have tried saying you are faking etc. I really am sorry for all the crap you have had to put up with.
    Hope you start to get some relief as you start treatment.

    I’m really glad I found your channel. I’ve suffered symptoms like this for many years and I am going to go in soon (hopefully) and ask about POTS and see if I can maybe get some answers.

    Thanks for uploading this video. My doctor is 99% sure I have POTS but she wants me to get a TTT to get diagnosed. This makes me feel more prepared because it shows what goes on during the testing. This is the best POTS video on UA-cam!
    Oh and how long did you have to do the treadmill?

  • @jessicalingo4346

    I just gotback from doing my treadmill stress test and I'm very upset about it. I reacted the same way you did. I had the super fast hr (well over 100bpm. Possibly as high as 150bpm) I could only do 6 minutes before I had to stop. My heart was beating super fast and hard. My breathing was very heavy. It hurt to breath. I tried to tell the Dr this and he said im just not used to exercise (despite walking his recommended 30 minutes daily) I had to literally fall down to the exam table from how bad I felt. I laid down after a minute or 2 from getting lightheaded and dizzy. The Dr came back in (he was in and out of the room during the test the whole time) and asked why I was laying down (as if my high hr that stayed in the 100s and hyperventilating after only a 6 minute brisk walk wasn't any clue!) I told him I got dizzy and lightheaded. He chuckled and said your just not used to working out. He said it looks normal and see you in 3 months.
    Given that I don't know much about how a normal person would manage a stress test like that I don't know for sure if what I went through was actually normal but I truly don't think feeling like I was would be normal after a 6 minute brisk walk. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Also the dr said I don't need a tilt table test. And laughed when saying that.

    so sorry you found out, well at least you know, and know the facts about it, doctor was really good explaining the situation and helping you, love the blue cross near walking machine. Do you keep a journal about what happens every day? Be a great idea then you can keep track bout your daily life.

    I think I might have this I faint a lot especially when I am standing for a while. After running I get really a really faint feeling. I also feel like this when I stand up after sitting or laying down for a while. I did a lot of research and have a lot of the symptoms so I asked my mom to take me to the doctor. I am very anxious.i’m sorry for the long comment.

      I get this way sometimes too, I will also get really lightheaded and dazed and shoulder check walls or hit my knee into a wall or corners of the wall because I lose that sense of space

    Congrats on FINALLY getting answers!!! I'm so glad there's treatments you can try! I know how it feels to be in the dark on what's wrong, but then after years to FINALLY get a diagnosis! Luckily, mine was just ADHD, and BiPD, so I'm lucky it's nothing tougher, but I still know the feeling of frustration you had, and the feeling of utter relief when one finally knows what's wrong. I even cried with you in your first video about POTS where you had read comments and called the place, it reminded me just how I felt when I finally got my diagnosis, and I cried back then too, your video brought it all back. It sucks having something that is disabling, but now you know you're not crazy, f*** the haters you even got video PROOF!, and there's treatment that may help, and when people ask what's wrong with you, one can finally have an answer! Congrats, and I wish you luck and send my prayers that treatment will help you dramatically! :)

    Dominique I have degenerative disc disease after I was assaulted at work, which I was nursing, and hurt my spine and my right knee.. for a long time no one was sure what was wrong with me.. then I had the diagnoses of ddd.. also it triggered arthritis in my body I was 21 at the time now 28 yrs later my spine is worse and my knee pain is worse I have new pains and I have now been to see a orthopaedic specialist to find out exactly what's going on with me so I know what its like to have no diagnosis and wonder what the hecks going on.. also with my assault I get flash backs. so I don't talk about it much..

    Do you get symptoms even when sitting or lying down? Hard to tell if I have POTS or just long Covid. Didn’t have this before Covid so I assume it’s long Covid.

    • @ServiceDogPaws
      @ServiceDogPaws  5 місяців тому +1

      Covid has been linked to pots anyway. I can get symptoms when I change to sitting from laying down, or standing from sitting . I’ve had symptoms when I’ve been sitting for a while. Flare ups will change how things affect me

  • @DarkSeth7
    @DarkSeth7 7 років тому +2

    I noticed they didnt do an EKG (specifically a 24-hr or month-long one). They might be overlooking something. I have heard of a few cases where it appeared to be POTS but was actually something called WPW syndrome. Its great you have ideas to go forward with treatment, but just make sure you're not missing something.

  • @fireiron369

    “Tilt Table Test”
    Yeah I’m sure 😂
    If that’s a test what’s the giant laser for?

  • @AmalieBJ97
    @AmalieBJ97 7 років тому +1

    I also have POTS, but since I live in Denmark it's almost impossible to get any help.
    There's a big media battle going on because of the hpv vaccine, so doctors aren't really willing to help POTS patients... it really sucks... It also took me nearly 8 years to get a diagnosis.

  • @Maturleyglam
    @Maturleyglam 7 років тому +11

    Pot is not a diagnosis it's a symptom. It's what is causi ng you dizziness etc but POTS is always only a portion of the problem. Are they going to find out what's causing it? It's like saying you have a running nose but it's caused by Allergies. This is a good step but you still need a Proper diagnosis

    • @iloilee
      @iloilee 7 років тому +9

      POTS doesn’t always have a cause. It IS a disorder. It’s a medical condition characterized by malfunction of the autonomic nervous system.
      POTS has hundreds of symptoms.
