@wilsonanderson LC since 9/2020. My worst symptoms, among many!, for the first couple years was random heart rate spikes [as high as 200bpm] with/without exertion and dips [as low as 40bpm usually following the high spike] accompanied by shortness of breath and chest pain/pressure. My resting heart rate was 80’s-90’s when in the before it was 60’s-70’s. I had a Tilt Table Test done and was diagnosed with “Postural Orthostatic Hypotension”. My symptoms with that sound very much like what you’ve explained about your BP. I never fainted, but, whether in my kitchen or aisle of a store, I was known to slide down to the floor, before I had a chance to faint or fall. I’m on automatic pilot, now, when I go into a room looking for a chair to sit on or wall to lean on. A little over a year ago my COVID Recovery Clinic doc prescribed a low dose of Metoprolol to see if it would level out my heart rate issues without lowering my BP. For me, it was like a miracle drug. Immediately my episodic HR spikes/dips ceased and my resting HR was and remained back down to 60’s-70’s. Certainly worth discussing with your doc to see if it might work its wonder on you. My best to you in a complete recovery and return to a thriving life.
Reply to self? I watched the beginning of the diabetic podcast but it was talking about type 2, I’m a type 3c caused by a routine procedure to remove a blockage in my bile duct going wrong and ending up in ICU with septic shock and acute pancreatitis followed by insulin dependent diabetes!
I’ve read some people saying their POTS, BP, HR issues subsided with use of Atorvastatin from Dr Patterson’s protocol. They didn’t do the antiviral just the statins and it helped them.
Might be worth a try?
