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 😢
I got in touch with the BHF and they told me there has been an increase in POTS cases following Covid. That, my vaccination or a jet ski crash is what seems to have kicked mine off they all happened within a 2 months of eachother so its hard to pinpoint. Its very hard to get help with too, feels like pointless struggle
@@francescachristy8761 it's just getting to that point that is hard. A lot of doctors don't know about pots so just label you as anxious so you can never actually get a diagnosis or treatment.
No , what he is implying is it is only a symptom which is medical term. There may be different underlying causes. He has so many videos explaining POTS and it's treatment.
Doctor you’re the best I learned a lot from you I live here in the US and I’m 75 years old and I watch your videos I have learned more than any cardio doctor or any other doctor besides my own doctor and when I watch of you keep the good work up I appreciate I learned a lot from you at 75 thank you so much
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?
Thank you so much for this comment!!! I have pots too, and I was really confused because I looked up the symptoms and I literally had all of them! Then he says it isn't real? It makes me really confused and kinda angry too 😂
POTS is real in the sense that patients are definitely being affected by something. But right now it isn't really known what the underlying cause is. I've heard people recommend a symptoms management perspective, like working a job that doesn't involve lots of standing to reduce the risk of falling over.
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 It’s just if it increases by 30bpm (40 for adolescents) or to over 120bpm at any time within the first 10 minutes, it doesn’t say that it needs to be sustained in the criteria.
Can you receive a diagnosis though? I’m so tired of being judged and people thinking I’m perfectly healthy because I look that way. And anxiety being blamed.
My daughter is 14 and suffering with these symptoms for years now she’s her blood pressure is low but when standing her heart rate goes up fast Then it can drop fast too Nerdiing help as it’s taking her childhood away
I have this, i always faint after long period of time or sweat, and feel weak when standing for something, once I did, tai chi and almost passed out and though I just had low stamina. Had semi seizures and complete blacks out all the time. I though it was normal.
But it’s only happened like 4 times from completely diffrent stuff over a few months (don’t have it diagnosed but heard a part of it is linked to audhd so wanted to look into it bc i related to the other video)
This happens to me but I thought was from something else I wash I knew . I don't have a single doctor n I haven't gone or told them to much I get scared but I need some help

Try a low histamine diet and increase water intake, also a daily vitamin. Of course to much water intake can also be dangerous and I'm not a doctor, but this works for me.
Hello sir I am from India, the symptoms you are telling i am suffering from last 24 months and dr in india diagone with anxiety is there any cure for POTS please reply I am very help less
Should we say that you don't know what your saying either. Don't u do the same when a patient comes in your office with a concern. You go in your office and read a book on what might be going on!! How dare u!!! Your nor GOD !!! NOW GO READ THAT!!
High stress level creates a histamine response, when you combine that with foods high in histamine, you can get pots symptoms. I've been taking a daily vitamin and implemented a low histamine diet. My symptoms are nearly unnoticeable now. I miss hot sauce and cheese but I love feeling good better.
I think pots is secondary to mast cell activation. I think all pots is just mast cell activation. Maybe lyme disease, toxic mold exposure. If i follow a low histamine diet combined with pots recommended water and salt. I feel great.

@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 😎
When drs can’t explain what’s going on they tend to diagnose you with anxiety and send you on your way.
That's been my experience for the last 18 months unfortunately, I've been looking into private which is something I don't want to do particularly

There are treatments. Diagnosis is normally done with a tilt table test

So basically it’s “all in our heads”.. just a label. Not a diagnosis. Great… 😔
Even though he just said that when they measure the heart rate it is indeed higher? That made no sense.

Not all people collapse though and it can be when you stand up suddenly that you experience symptoms like an increase in heart rate of 30bpm or more
Somehow people are not discussing the usual drop in blood pressure with POTS. And the elevation in heart rate is not necessarily a tachycardia.
