Q: symptoms or smth else
Wednesday I had what I think was a POTS flare/ episode. I didn’t have a great night sleep, a bit later on maybe 10-11 I felt like my blood pressure/ sugar was a bit low. I felt super hot, dizzy, and my hands were shakey. Sometimes that happens idk why exactly but it’s not super common just occasional. Normally I can just drink a breakfast drink like Breakfast essentials or a bottled nesquick chocolate milk since it’s something I have at home usually. So I drank a nesquick chocolate milk and felt ok for a bit. A little after maybe 12 I was trying to eat lunch and felt it again but I figured I should have been feeling ok, but it was getting worse. I checked my bpm and it had gotten to 140! Eventually I was ok, I took it easy rest of the day. Anyway, yesterday (Thursday ) and today (Friday) I have small “episodes” where I get super cold, hands or feet get clammy, body tremors, a bit dizzy but not always, discomfort in my upper back behind my shoulders mostly, and my bpm goes up from 70-80s to 90s. It comes and goes for a few minutes at a time. I want to ask if this is maybe just a symptom of POTS due to the flare/episode I had a few days before? I haven’t had symptoms present this way before so I would like to know if I can label it from pots or see if something else is happening.
Also yes, I will make sure to bring it up to my dr regardless! I have a gp appt for a physical on 6/21 and a cardiologist appt who I see for pots on 7/8
