I was diagnosed a few weeks ago after a year of tests and hell. I feel ungrateful because I don’t fully pass out but my biggest nuisance symptom right now is sleep disruption. I can limit myself during the day and manage that way but at night I wake up with internal vibrations sometimes heart racing and shaking. The doctor ordered propranolol and a blood pressure monitor but I haven’t received the BP cuff yet due to the some basic BS and I want to be able to test my BP while on medication to ensure it works. So I’m just in limbo waiting, calling, suffering. Up until this point I have taken hydroxyzine for panic attacks which would happen frequently if I woke up in the middle of the night with symptoms. Lately I have tried taken that preemptively and still wake up with symptoms and although I don’t panic about the symptoms I’m still having them and it’s so frustrating. I just want good solid sleep so bad. I have a 3 year old who wakes me up in the middle of the night or early in the morning of course on the nights I do actually sleep good. I also had a problem recently with water retention cuz I was overdoing it on the electrolytes I guess and I can’t get a routine of how much salt and water daily. ADD untreated makes it so much harder to manage that aspect. Ugh 🫩
