POTS - postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

Hi all! I was recently diagnosed with POTS (have had symptoms around 2 years). I was prescribed Corlanor (Ivabradine) that controls my heart rate, but I still have symptoms. Aches and pains, not feeling well in general, and the most disturbing one is sense of impending doom.
Does anybody have the same problem? What helped?

Welcome, @romashka. Dealing with continuing symptoms that are a constant reminder of an unresolved health condition can lead to a sense of impending doom as you say. I get that.

I've moved your post about POTS and the symptoms of aches and pains, and general malaise that you contend with to this existing discussion:
- POTS - postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pots-postural-orthostatic-tachycardia-syndrome/

I did this so you can read previous comments and easily connect with fellow POTS members like @julianned @jenn54 @basslakebabe19 @teddi @tct and many others.

A good to know fact is that people with POTS have a normal life expectancy. The condition doesn’t decrease life expectancy, although it can severely disrupt daily living. @romashka do you feel that you have triggers that make symptoms come or go? What helps?
