POTS symptoms are just like people with congestive heart failure. I have sinus tachycardia that increases with movement of any kind. I get shortness of breath, tremors, and my blood pressure goes up the longer I move. I was diagnosed with HyperAdrenergic POTS. It is an autonomic nervous system disorder. My blood vessels do not constrict when I move, they open up and it causes my blood to pool. Then my heart races to bring the blood up to my organs and brain. The HyperAdrenergic part of it is that my body knows it is in trouble and sends adrenaline through my system. This causes my blood pressure to rise and severe tremors. I am on Clonidine to lower the blood pressure and Cymbalta to control the nervous system. I am also in PT and OT therapy. Even with the medication, my tachycardia and blood pressure are still very high. After 5 minutes of walking and resting my blood pressure was 187/126 and my heart rate was 160. My PT had me sit and rest and we tried again, but the same thing happened. I have good days and bad days. So, my question is does anyone know of anyone that has beat this? I am unable to work and am unable to stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. I can't even sit in a chair with my feet down for longer than 45 minutes. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.
