    I love how he admits he went from a doctor with knowledge on how to treat people to a doctor with knowledge on how to care for people, that’s the shift we need to see from many in healthcare professionals.

    “Patients come first, definition comes after that”. Mad respect Dr. Gupta. I wish more doctors think like you do. We need to be reminded that definition criteria, tests/ investigations all have the potential of false negative and missing the outliers. Thanks for this amazing session

    You have such a good heart dr Gupta!!! 😊Apparently many drs don’t want to bother learning about this malady let alone treating it! I have experienced POTS off and on for several years now and have ME/CFS. Now my granddaughter has POTS really bad and was blacking out multiple times a day and no one would believe her and help her until she started having seizures. They all thought it was psychological because she’s a teenager. I was absolutely incredulous that no one except the school nurse was taking this seriously!

She should've been receiving better care than that from those dr's, as a parent that's appalling not to mention disgraceful.

    This was tremendously helpful. I cried during certain parts bc i have been struggling with this for years with doctors dismissing me. It started a few years ago with either COVID or i had a surgery that removed my ovaries and then was put on estrogen/progesterone hormone replacement - i don't know if was covid or the hormones bc they were at the same time. I had all these symptoms to a lesser degree all my life (i thought everyone struggled with them! 🙄). But when those events happened in my life - this condition became literally debilitating. I thought i might be dying. As i listened to this, i cried with relief and validation. Thank you🙏💜

    What an amazing example of patient centred care and a clinician that actually wants to help those suffering. POTS is a common symptom in long term (greater than 3 weeks) benzodiazepine use (tolerance, withdrawal, post acute withdrawal syndrome, benzodiazepine induced neurological dysfunction)

    • @AlbaLynxQueen
      @AlbaLynxQueen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh. God. I started having POTS after a 10 days benzo use. All doctors dismiss and gaslight me. But I had no tachycardia at all prior to benzoes. Now it's been more than a year since then, my HR standing up is 130. When I lie down it's always 60-70. 4 months before benzoes I went off ssri rapidly. It might have contributed to me developing POTS

  • @sueregan2782
    @sueregan2782 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am 79 years old, have had ME/CFS for 50+ years, but acquired POTS (including all those other dysfunctions on the list) a couple years ago when my PCP put me on a diuretic for B/P. He then wanted me on a reconditioning exercise program. I refused, and had a blood test done through another doctor: my electrolytes were severely depleted. Discontinuing the B/P meds and concentrating on intense restoration of electrolytes and other depleted nutrients has helped reduce the POTS heart rate, eliminate IBS, improve sleep.

    I'm currently seeking a diagnosis but since some friends have brought POTS to my attention I feel like there is finally hope!!! I have had a mountain of symptoms for 11 years, starting when I was 16. I have been to so many doctors and taken so many trips to the ER but always get turned away without answers. I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, but I've always felt there was something more to it. I had covid in September and had horrible brain fog and fatigue that never went away. My other symptoms have worsened as well. In November I had a really bad spell of high heart rate (reached 180 at one point) and extreme lightheadedness and dizziness on top of the worse brain fog and fatigue I've ever experienced. I thought I was dying. I think covid brought out my underlying condition which I'm 100% positive is POTS. That possibility connects ALL of the dots for me, especially all of the things I thought were unrelated such as foot pain & extreme photo sensitivity. My PCP thankfully knew about POTS and was very supportive of me wanting to investigate POTS further and gave me a referral to the cardiologist, so now I'm waiting to see seen by them.

    I have been suffering with this my entire life! It’s so refreshing to hear a doctor who actually listens instead of dismissing patients who have difficult medical issues! I was told I had fibromyalgia when I was in my 20’s and have carried that diagnosis around since then. It seemed to fit some things but not all my symptoms. My daughter was just diagnosed with EDS and is being sent to a geneticist. It answers all of our symptoms finally! And Dysautonomia is a comorbidity of EDS! Thank you for this information! Maybe now I can take some of this info to my dr and see where we go from here…..wow

He will never stop growing. 🙏

  • @alyssagwynne421
    @alyssagwynne421 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really want to add also that with my experience in reading a lot of people's symptoms, that I've noticed most patients with pots or dysautonomia have low heart rate variability. (HRV) not heart rate, but the variability. Low heart rate variability is crucial in this illness. It causes the exhaustion, the irritability the lack of get up! It directly relates to the autonomic nervous system. I got an apollo watch, that seemed to help with it. But I still have HRV in the low 20s most days! There are so many facets to this illness and I'm so glad it is getting the recognition it deserves! There are so many of us suffering that have been diagnosed with anxiety for way too long. It's a debilitating feeling and I am praying that soon I will be able to find a Dr who will help me. Who will listen and not just tell me to drink more water which I already do 😓

      Good Doctor,
      You are making this world a much better place. I wanted to report that I sustained triple negative breast cancer in 2013, 2013 while leukoplenic caught a respiratory infection. This post-viral illness segued into ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis). 2014 advanced basal cell whilst immunocompromised on my left scalp>split thickness skin graft to approximate the head wound slightly larger than the size of an adults palm. 2016 triple negative breast cancer chest-wall recurrence. Bedridden for 8 years. Severe chronic pain.
      Hence CIPN chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy, Dysautonomia, right-sided low atrial pressure, negative full cardiac work up but continued with incessant, sharp, chest pain.
      Now, finally to the point!! My ME/CFS MD in Boston, Ma, David Murray Systrom and his PA have RX’d Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) now for over three years. Chest pain 100% treated. My current dose is 30mg three times a day. I feel much better, can be somewhat active-ish, and drive again. You and Dr. Systrom are of the same cloth>practicing patient-centered medicine. Respectfully, Katie

    I was fine, about to hike 4000ft mountains. Athletic all my life. At 56 last year got Covid twice and Lyme disease, Bells Palsy. in between that. Never been the same. So long Covid? But my symptoms fit into POTS and MCAS. I take walks but have to walk slow or my heart tachs right up. Forget going up hills. Fatigue, chest pain, guts are a mess and sleep sucks. I am hoping things improve in time but underneath I am don’t believe I will ever be the same. I am trying to learn to live my new normal. I did have to take 6 months off from work because the fatigue and symptoms were too much. I am back to work but can only tolerate a 25hr week. It’s really hard as I am a type A busy kind of person.

    Thank you for a most informative talk! In the 15+ years that I’ve had POTS, I’ve never heard any of this, or had any help from my GPs. Self help and Dr Google have been my only remedy. Some of the advice given is in direct opposition to that given for managing my heart failure and damaged mitral valve, e.g. use of diuretics/gliflozins. I think I’ll just have to carry on putting up with the POTS 🙃

    I wish I could get an appointment with you, I'm so frustrated with my GP. It took me 6 years to finally get an M.E diagnosis, and the last few years (worse now) I've been having dysautonomia symptoms, POTS especially. Pounding heart just from standing, often losing my balance and feeling really sick. My heart rate raises from 80 bpm to 130 just standing. I also get the pounding heart after eating, and night time anxiety. 6 years of feeling ill and not being believed . 😞

    I'm not sure what award Dr. Gupta should get, but he should get something for being such a warm and caring and dedicated physician! I greatly admire his attitude and his work and it's wonderful that he's helped so many people with this condition. I believe I had pots or dysautonomia at a young age maybe around 8 years old because I started to have near fainting episodes when I would stand up too quickly it went on until I was about 50 or 55 years old just maybe 10 years ago. I think because my blood pressure naturally went up as I aged it took care of that near fainting. I never had tachycardia, but I do have intermittent atrial fibrillation and I have a histamine intolerance now. It's all kind of coming together and I've also suffered neurologic pain syndrome. If I had had a doctor like Dr Gupta my life probably would have been a lot different.

  • @georgiarelman
    @georgiarelman 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It’s important to know that preemies experience dysautonomia because their automatic reflexes do not coordinate well, this often does does ‘catch-up’ especially if you were born less than 32 weeks GA. Under stress or stimulation of any kind they experience orthostatic hypotension (bradycardia), while late preterm (34-37 weeks) experience tachycardia.
    Abnormal Baroreflex sensitivity,
    Whereby the baroreflex does not coordinate with the parasympathetic or sympathetic reflexes, resulting in episodes of hypertension (tachycardia) and/or hypotension (bradycardia).
    This helps explain avoidant behavior-must stop, rest, recover.

    I feel I also have this, started after COVID in November 2020. A year ago after much researching multiple symptoms, my PCP basically laughed at me and said no way. Mine start when I wake up and walk to bathroom, by the time I get to the toilet I am tingling from head, down my arms, across my chest feeling as if I am on fire, start pouring sweat and have actually passed out several times, losing control of my body and functions. I am constantly tired, do not sleep well or normal at all. Have a flutter in my sternum often and heart rate goes up and down regardless of what I'm doing. It's scary and debilitating. Actually my chiropractor and his naturopathic brother have told me they're sure this is what I have.

    I had terrible tachycardia that landed me in the hospital after taking nortriptyline for neuropathy. Never understood what happened there and the doctor didn’t either but watching this made me realize I think I might have POTS. dizzy fatigue tachycardia random episodes but also postural. Tachycardia wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes. It all makes sense now. I’m a nurse always suspected I had an issue with vascular laxity, don’t seem to adjust physiologically to a change in posture though my BP is fine my heart rate shoots up. And seem to be sensitive to anything that increases my adrenaline meds caffeine stress. I’m also quite hyper mobile. Too many symptoms more to list here but this has been eye opening. Interestingly I started ballet 8 years ago and always feel better with the symptoms on days I do class or am physically active. If I’m sick and lying around for a couple days the palpitations get so much worse.

    I have every symptom listed. Raced professional motocross for 15 years and get winded carrying my 8 month old to the car now. What got me was when you stated patients complain of palpitations when standing still but go away when walking. Testing today my heart rate was 60 bpm sitting with my feet up. I stood up and walked around and it went to 115-120. As soon as I stopped walking I felt pressure in my body and my heart went to 140. It took a couple minutes for the racing to stop and as soon as I stated walking again it would go back to 90. It's so frustrating. I wonder if it goes down when walking because muscles contract and vessels pump the blood back to the brain and heart easier. Also could the delay in vasoconstriction cause too much adrenaline to be released giving anxiety attacks?

    I spent over 14 years saying that I thought I’d got Pots. No one listened to me and no one believed me they thought that the Cardiologists knew best. I was like a broken record but I never gave gave up. Then two doctors individually in A&E told me that that’s what I’d got. One said that I had symptoms that I didn’t know about and the other one gave me a print out. What did my doctor do? She sent me to a cardiologist for two years and when I told him what the two doctors had said he said “What do they know?” and he kept prescribing medications which made me so ill. I made an appointment with my doctor. She asked me how I’d got on and said that he can be a bit strange. I said that I still thought that I’d got Pots and she said “So do I.” But she didn’t know where to send me. I told her that I wanted to be referred to Cardiology at the LGI. I saw a doctor with a special interest in Pots and he diagnosed me. He also wrote a letter that I could take to A&E asking if they’d give me IV fluids. No one had heard of Pots. I’m relieved that some Pots sufferers don’t have to fight as long as I did these days.

    I had all the symptoms for many years. I would go shopping and sweat so profusely that it was embarrassing. Waking at night with a racing heart going to ER and being told nothing was wrong. Having inflammatory bowel disease most of my life. I do wonder if I had this as a child? I was always tired always with diarrhea as a child. Blood pressure will go up very high then back down, If I lie down and put ice on my face and neck. Does anyone else have the sweating?

    Could I have POTS?
    Ive been suffering terribly since my mid teens after a hepatitis infection from working in a restaurant.
    * extream fatigue
    * dignosed ADHD
    * IBS-D
    * chronic bladder issues
    * extream palpitations & PVCs with standing
    * often feel like blacking out when i stand
    * low endurance
    * shortness of breath
    * frequent insomnia
    * feel very faint standing still or walking slowly.
    * heat intolerance
    * after a day of normal activity i have to spend a day or more in bed with a headache that becomes much worse with standing.
    I bought a pulse oximeter a few days ago and have been doing the standing test.
    Half of the time my BPM do increase by more then 30, but other times only by 20-27.
    Every time though my heart beats very erratically with standing with excessive PVCs. In one test I decided to count them and had 40 PVCs in 5 mins, some were 2-3 in a row. My heart always went back to normal very quickly after laying down again.
    Could this be POTs, or something else since my BPM didnt always go up 30 or more?
    I know I cant be diagnosed online Im just looking for possibilities while waiting to see if my doctor will get me tested.

I have been trying to figure out why did I get difib the first time I had a 3min hot shower and 5mins down the line I felt my heart rate go up and I got difib . Then a week later I had to do a revision on my difib lead and went under general anaesthetic then a week later I remembered going to the loo often that night and was very hungry all night when I got up at 6am and stood up I felt my kidneys vibrate along with my heart rate going up and got difib around 20times on my way to hospital Advance Life Support was on scene but couldn't do anything much to help me . When my electro cardiologist got to me he said to put a magnet on so it would stop shocking me . I think I have Pots . Im afraid of going home as my difib might do it again . I'm all the way in South Africa n don't know of any doctor that can help me .

    You're a Doctor, Sanjay! If POTS didn't peak your interest, you fail as a Doctor. Most good doctors want to "fix" (cure) everything! Routine is boring and how good doctors get burnt out. A good doctor can be a pioneer and discover/invent great things. A good doctor can cure these discoveries! Keep searching, Sanjay!
