Yeah I definitely have nothing to loose, I will keep bugging doctors until someone tells me what's wrong. My sanity is wearing thin though! :(
Believe it or not, I saw an episode on the TV show Mystery Diagnosis about POTS years ago, even when I was sick, and did not think I had it. Her symptoms were only somewhat similar to mine, so I blew it off. Mistake!
Anyway, I do not get nausea anymore. I had it for several months in 2008, but it went away, thankfully. I belong to a Facebook group with over 3,500 members and many of them experience nausea daily.
I'm not a doctor, so of course I have on idea if POTS is really your problem, but what do you have to lose? Maybe some time, money, and energy, but to me, it's better than losing your sanity! If you have any left, that is. ;)
Hi brandi, I think I really need to convince a doc to check me for that since its been suggested so many times. The nausea is my worst symptom everyday for the last 7months, do you get nausea???
Hello,
Please look into Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It is a very unheard of nervous system disorder that prevents the body from being able to properly adjust to the pull of gravity. Therefore, symptoms arise, such as: rapid heart rate upon standing, low or high blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, sweating, anxiety-like symptoms, headaches, shortness of breath, inability to exercise, digestion problems, etc. The symptoms are endless and vary person to person day to day. Very few doctors are familiar with this illness and often misdiagnose patients.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Brandi
Keep at it Lena, I do hope you can get this figured out. Best of luck with the scan.
