Thank you to all for your likes and hugs!! I had my stress test this week. It was a bad experience.
The lead technician wanted me to start on the treadmill even though my PCP had ordered a chemical test. I gave it a try for about 30 seconds and ended with a major episode, i.e. SOB, blurry vision, weakness, dizziness and of all things, tears!! Why tears??? Anyway, the results did not show any major heart issues but did show that my BP drops when standing and then, recovers when sitting. Hello, I've suspected this and tracked it with my own BP cuff for 4 years now. Waiting to hear if Neuro will want me to change to another med. In the meantime, I'm still recovering from Stress Test 3 days hence. Does sound like POTS. Thanks for listening!!

I know, @welchllb, that this is not meant to be humorous tho' a) you did write with remarkable humor and b) I just had a similar conversation w/ a health care advocate for me. When we KNOW our bodies and symptoms, why are they ignored?

Tears? Are you kidding? I cry each time I try to explain what's going on bec it's exhausting and like for you, we experience symptoms.

Onward .. somehow.
