Hi there,
Although I don’t claim to be an authority on pots, I don’t believe my symptoms are consistent with that malady. Although I’m not in total agreement they’re consistent with arthritis either.
My blood pressure and heart rate are normal.
My primary doctor recently had me take my blood pressure & pulse before I got up, immediately upon sitting up on the edge of my bed and then while standing. All my readings were well within normal limits not like what one would normally see in pots or at least the type of pots I’m most familiar with. I thought it might be Postural Hypotension, But my knowledge of that is limited as well. My father was a C-5 quadriplegic and he suffered from that nearly every time we got him out of bed. I’m not familiar with Orthostatic hypotension happening after being upright for some time but who knows.
You may be more knowledgeable than I on other types of Pots. Do you think it's still a possibility?
Thank you for your contribution it was very much appreciated.
Take care,
Jake
