Okay guys. Im not sure if im posting this in the right place (please let me know if a better subreddit if you have one?)
I’m here looking for medically backed info. Basically Ive had random heart rate dips for years and I’ve gotten randomly lightheaded for years (seemingly unrelated to eachother, I’ve taken notes) I’ve been to a cardiologist and done all the tests, I’ve been to doctors and had all my vitals and my blood work done, I’ve seen no correlations with blood sugar, iron, or electrolytes, coffee/caffeine, even anxiety, etc.
and I’m just not sure what’s going on with me. It’s not all the time but it’s like 4 times a month (rare) to 2 times in 4 months. I suspect I have POTS but I have not done the table test yet because I’m afraid I’ll just waste money on a test again for them to say I’m fine and tell me to “dRinK mOrE WaTEr.” (I’m 26 f, all docs just think its my anxiety and tell me to drink water)
I almost just wish someone could lend me a cardiac service dog for a month so I could know if I’m crazy or not.
Now for the vyvanse part, as of tomorrow I’ll be on Vyvanse 20mg for 1 week. It’s a low dose and a side effect of it can be lightheadedness. I’ve felt lightheaded 2 times this week. But I’ve been watching and logging my food and water intake, my caffeine intake, other meds I’ve taken, sleep, literally everything.
So I’m just confused and sick of this randomly happening. I want it to make sense at least.
