I relate. Continuously getting worse over 2 years.
ET was the easiest to diagnose. I saw a cardiologist for the first time to just get baseline readings for the future,
Platelet count should be between 150,000 - 400,000. Mine was 1.2 million. The cardiologist sent me to a hematologist / oncologist who prescribed hydroxyurea with vitamins. I take 500mg daily which is a low dose. My platelets slowly went down- there are side effects to the drug.
I also had a racing heart standing or sitting and my pressure changed 30 points when I stood up.
I returned to the cardiologist for a checkup and he diagnosed POTS. I’ve taken Fludrocortisone a few weeks (with more vitamins) and it hasn’t worked yet.
There are several drugs for each condition and depending what else you take you might take a diff drug.
Research each condition on Mayo Clinic’s website.
