Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis?

Posted by wolf1954 @wolf1954, Oct 30, 2023

I'm a healthy 69 yr old male.
I got COVID in February of 2020. Since that time I've become almost totally disabled with what appears to be exsersize induced anaphylaxis.
On level ground I do very well, stairs not good. Using my upper body not good, bending over is not good. I have several symptoms of Dysautonomia.
What happens is my heart rate will hit 132 bpm, BP 80/70 and I can't breathe! It is life threatening and no Doctor wants to see me anymore. I was prescribed an epipen. Next time I'm using it, very sorry I didn't two nights ago. I pray no one else has this.

Try going to a Neurologist and demand a Tilt Table Test. My symptoms were similar to yours for 3+ years and I finally went to a Neurologist who was listened. I was diagnosed with Borderline POTS. I'm now on a medication called Mestinon. Hope you have some success getting help. Check out this article:
