I just joined this site. I don't know how to add friends yet. I am an adult who has been recently been diagnosed with POTS. I also have hypothyroid. I am giong to my initial appointment on Monday with internal medicine. Do you have any advice for what specialities deal with this. I have worked with cardiology and pulmonary in the twin cities because my oxygen saturations frequently drops into the 80's. Have you experienced this?
I did not know about the dehydration link. Ihave been eating more carbs and eating more often. I learned that sinc when I am sitting or standingi am in my "target heart rate zone" (fat burning) when I walk or do any activity driving or walking etc, my HR is is beyond fat burn and just burns up carbs. I feel much better if I eat more often.
Do you have any advice? As you know, it is difficult to understand for our family and friends so it feels good to find others who relate.
