Is anyone here taking any weight loss meds while having any form of dysautonomia? Ive been wanting to ask my doctor, but ive heard some of those meds increase your heart rate. I have IST so i dont need to raise my heart rate even more lol. Exercise intolerance and chronic pain+hypermobility stops me from being more active thus i gain weight.

Before i ask my doctor, i just wanted to see if anyone has any insight and can share their experience

Was curious how fellow dysautonomia-havers manage their fatigue. I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia and take 30mg total of propranolol (i take it 3x a day). Some days its hard to even keep my eyes open and focus on work.

Ive brought it up to my doctor and they usually tell me to get lots of rest.

I sleep 8 hours a night then work from home 9-5 mon-fri. Weekends i seem to wake up after 8 hours and then fall back asleep like 2-3 times since im still tired. I can work from bed if needed but i try to mainly be at my desk since i have multiple monitors...but some days im just so tired i cant sit up.

I cant have a lot of caffeine since my resting heart rate is often 100 or more. I have a half caff kcup and set the machine to 8oz lol. I eat breakfast every morning too...and i stay hydrated with water and electrolyte drinks.

At this point im like...what can i do to stop being so fatigue? Do you guys do anything in your own life that helps you manage it?
