He is correct in his analysis. I went to the ER with a 160bpm resting heart rate only to be told "it's just anxiety", "it's in your head" nonsense even though I was not in a panic mode or anxious mode at all due to the fact that I had been used to this abnormally high random pulse rate since April 2021 after catching cov!d the first time. But as soon as they gave me a saline sodium IV "just cause" (they do this for any and every patient), I started to notice the heart rate coming down to the 80s an hour later. Magic ? Nope!.

The best thing he said is that he LISTENS to his patients. It’s so important.

@@GeorgiaMarshall-jr5mm It's not a blood transfusion. People with POTS usually have trouble keeping blood volume up at a normal level. We also have trouble balancing electrolytes. Some POTS people do well with just normal saline by IV while others do better with a vitamin / mineral bag by IV. It's always good to have your vitamin levels checked first just to make sure you don't overdo it with some vitamins like B6, which can cause neuropathy in toxic doses.

Dr. Blair Grubb, the doctor referenced in the IV study in this video, is my POTS doctor. I'm very lucky to have him, as he is hailed as the best POTS doctor in the country. I was prescribed two liters of IV saline three days per week, and did that for 5 months. Sadly, there was no improvement. Further patient information has shown that IV therapy doesn't have the high success rate as the 2017 study showed. I'm not saying that to discourage patients from trying. I'm saying this to bond with other patients for whom the treatment failed. Additionally, Dr. Grubb and his team have found a link between those who have gone years with undiagnosed Celiac disease and dysautonomia. It seems that the damage from Celiac may somehow damage the vagus nerve, starting the onset of dysautonomia.

Interesting on the hereditary factor bc my Mom was dxd Fibromyalgia after she got a bad flu right after she gave birth to me her 5th child. Out of her 6 kids it was me who developed FM and now she has POTS also dxd a few years ago. Both of us were also treated for Lyme disease for a year after she got an acute Lyme infection. It's just incredible how similar we all are. I've been suffering for so many years and would love to be able to try saline treatment to see if I feel better but now both myself and Mom (ironically) have Chronic Kidney Disease so wonder if they would go for it due to that.

This video made me cry! Dr Gupta you honestly are one of a kind.. I have recently been diagnosed with PoTS after being misdiagnosed for 6 very long years.. please keep doing what you are doing, advocating for your patients and speaking about doctors not deserving their title.. that is one of the truest things I’ve heard in a very long time!

I’ve never seen a doctor who truely understood/empathized with Disautonomia in the way you are in this video. You also explained something that I’ve always wondered. I was in the hospital overnight after what I now know was a really bad Disautonomia day and after being on a saline drip overnight I woke up feeling refreshed despite being woken up a few times in the night for vitals. I never understood why I couldn’t achieve as good an effect from just taking in fluids and electrolytes.

I was diagnosed with Pots recently. I have had the symptoms of Pots for years and up until a few months ago I was able to live a “normal life” going to the gym, playing sports etc… but since my diagnosis my life has completely changed. I passed out one day(9/31/23) and was hospitalized for a full week and ever since I have to watch what I eat, sleep, work, exercise etc… I would love to know more of your treatment and channel since you are a genuine human being trying to help patients like me understand our condition, treat it, and provide somehow a solution to alleviate our symptoms and better our quality of life.

Thank God I found a cardiologist who said he saw this a lot after viral infections and that it goes away after a month or two. He was hesitant to put me on beta blockers as I was only 45. He said to increase fluids and salt and stay optimistic that it was temporary. I wish there were more doctors like you to takes POTS seriously. I pray for all sufferers!

Omg, the loss of hope! My brother was such an a-hole to me the other week = you're a whinge, a liar and a hypochondriac... where's the diagnosis...???! My partner was my part-time caregiver and he died suddenly, alone on my bed at the age of 30 a year and a half ago. Talk about loneliness and isolation with this disorder! He was the only person/friend that I had. My brother can go and jump in the lake. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, but I would love my brother to have this for about a year - just to see what his life would look like (ie the things he could no longer do) and how many friends he would end up with. I reckon his wife would probably leave him too and his sons wouldn't look after him - then HE'D be left with nobody & he'd be in the sh#t like I am. Forgive me, but gosh I would love to see that and for him to see what this feels like. I've had this for nearly 10 years - along with MdDS too. Dr Gupta is a LEGEND and I showed my doctor this video yesterday and he's agreed to get the nurse to give me some IV saline next week. Fingers crossed 🤞 Sending you ALL healing vibes/prayers and hugs!!! 🙏💪💝🫂

POTS is a heterogeneous disorder of the autonomic nervous system that can result from multiple etiologies. An increased prevalence of vitamin B12, vitamin D 25-OH and iron deficiencies has been observed in patients with POTS.May 21, 2017

Dr. Gupta this is just amazing! As a family with EDS/Chiari, plus a list list of accompanying maladies, we fall directly into your description. I have NEVER heard a doctor who so accurately describes what we go through! There are specialists in EDS here in the US but the costs of traveling to see them, negotiate the healthcare system and then, for me, the improbability I will be able to tolerate the pharmaceuticals they use is prohibitive. If you have been exceedingly fatigued all your life, it's highly unlikely you will be wealthy enough to afford treatments also here in the US. Locally, one rarely finds a doctor who knows what Ehlers-Danlos is, let alone treat it. Having an accurate diagnosis is not the help one would think if the physician is not familiar with it. Mine told me angrily, "That's too complicated. YOU'RE too complicated. " Folks say that one must advocate for oneself but when you are so very tired almost every day it's hard to be consistent with that. Without an attitude of some compassion for the patient, I am fond of saying, the doctor is really just a technician with a degree. Thank you so much for being a true doctor and shedding this light. And for giving what it no doubt takes out of you personally to do that.

This is the first time I've seen a doctor who really understands POTS and what we have to deal with. Even though this is still not a 'cure' for POTS, just acting on the symptoms, it can still significantly improve our quality of life. I feel that with your approach you may one day actually contribute to the discovery of a cure for POTS.

I am a psychiatrist who has had an interest in dysautonomia, the spectrum of EDS and those given the descriptors POTS and chronic fatigue. This interest was first generated by a vulnerability in my own family. In Psychiatry we are the refuge of the destitute and I was able to reassure so many that the problem was not in their minds. One other very important intervention is a magnesium supplement which tend to stabilize twitchy neuromuscular junctions and produce less stretchy connective tissue.

I wish so badly you were my doctor! I had Covid Mar 2020 and have struggled so much since, with many of the symptoms you mentioned. I have tried many things to help myself, some of which have made a difference, mostly doctors in Canada just shrug when asked what can be done to help. I started with elevating my bed after I found one of your videos last year, it alone helped immensely with my shortness of breath and heart palpitations, I am still sleeping elevated and doubt I will stop. I have changed my diet, to mainly a liquid diet, high in greens and omega 3’s. I attempt to drink at least 3 litre of water a day, but find that it only helps so much. I have tried salt drinks and salt retaining meds with little success. I wish I could try your method of saline IV. I did do some Iron IV injection almost a year ago and found them to really help, maybe it increased my oxygen carry capacity which reduced my fatigue and helped with the orthostatic intolerance, don’t know really! I can attest that the symptoms are debilitating but the doctors here don’t seem to care much if my quality of life is awful, and my ability to work is nil. It can be very, very discouraging specially when I learn that a simple saline solution could change my life! Thank you for all you do! Without finding your videos last year I would be struggling much more that I am.

In my little quest to help these patients along with ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and the similar illness which baffles main stream medicine, I came across HBOT and sauna therapy (+/- cold plunges) seem to have some benefit. And SIBO testing and treatment and chronic heavy metal toxicity (functional medicine approach) seem to be helping a lot of similar patients. Keep up your great work. Thank you

You are the best doctor I ever heard about. Very few doctors nowadays really care for their patients. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this information. I’ve been telling my doctor for almost 2 years that I think I have dysautonomia. He sent me to neurologist, chiropractors, rheumatologist, cardiologists trying to fix everything individually and nothing works Instead of just getting informed about Long Covid. I do feel tired & wired all the time and I feel like my body is a desert. Regardless of how much I drink it’s not enough, my lips are always chapped, my mouth is dry etc. I feel as if the life has been drained out of me. I’ve mentioned to my family going to a wellness clinic for iv infusions as I always feel dehydrated and figuring it must help. I’ve also developed multiple bulging discs out of the blue with no accident. Interestingly enough I read dehydration can cause bulging discs. I’ve also developed mixed sleep apnea. All these after getting COVID/long COVID. I wish my doctors had a clue.

You got me when you spoke about American pharma companies.

You are amazing thank you for all you do for POTS/ DYSAUTONOMIA patients like me wish all doctors took it as serious.

This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. My poor son, who is 20, just had a bad strep infection and his dysautonomia symptoms went into overdrive but we didn’t realize it was the dysautonomia at first, just attributed it to his underlying infection mainly. Dr., you mentioned symptoms when lying down and that is so important to remember! POTS really isn’t a good name for this condition. Me and my children have EDS, which contributes to the dysautonomia syndrome. I wish I could move to the UK so I could have you as a Dr! We just do not have many here in this country who deal w/-understand this condition and consequently know how to treat it. Thank you for all of your hard work and information Dr! ❤

Real doctor alert. 🚨 A rare phenomenon, indeed.

Thank you for donating your time and coming online to help so many of us struggling. I have tried to explain this to 2 cardiologists and 3 pcps. I felt like I was losing my mind (beyond the already ever-present brain fog and fatigue!!). Bless you, Sir!!!!!

Very interesting hearing you talk about why one feels much worse after a big carbohydrate meal. It was so noticeable early on with my Long Covid it was the first big lifestyle change I made to eat smaller more frequent protein based meals. I think the Dysautanomia theory is gaining traction in the NHS, two and a half years on from my first bout of Covid I’ve been scheduled for a tilt table test and MRI scan. I wouldn’t say I’m archetypical POTS as the whole heart/pulse pressure/dizziness equation varies from week to week- sometimes classic and sometimes lesser- but that’s how the Long Covid goes overall, waxing and waning in cycles. Whatever, I’ve ended up, by a process of elimination of what works or doesn’t for me personally, with a lifestyle that resembles treatment for POTS. Take supine exercise in a compression suit- swimming in a wetsuit, drinking a gallon or more of water washed down with a couple of electrolytes a day, box breathing exercises and meditation, therapeutic rest stops- three sleeps a day, and Amitriptyline to help sleep at night. Do everything slowly and methodically to avoid the constant threat of being wired and tired.

We need more open minded docs like you....very interesting🙏💖

Thank you for caring about the quality of life of POTS patients and for spreading awareness. It means so much!

Amazing insight into our community of ME/CFS and dysautonomia patients. I love the comment about too many doctors treating conditions instead of patients. Being dismissed by uncaring medical professionals adds to the nightmare of disability that comes with the disease process.

This is amazing to hear, I’m so glad to hear that you have been pushing for this and that you are genuinely trying to help patients. I heard a few years back about a few patients in America having IV fluids and saying it was helpful to them. I was frustrated that this wasn’t more widely spoken about or even being considered here. You are doing great work and I hope more doctors follow and try to offer this to their patients

Thank you for all you do for us pots patients! Blessings to you and yours!

The world would be a much better place if the people in the highest places in healthcare were like Dr. Gupta.

My wife and I both got long covid starting in March 2020. Didnt know we had even had covid. Started with a 6 week headache then progressed to the most bizarre set of symptoms. Peaking in severity dec26. Our doctor had turned us away. Didnt believe us. And long covid was unknown at the time. So all we could do was experiment. One of our first discoveries was that large amounts of coconut water reduced symptoms greatly. Eventually we switched to water and electrolytes and thag worked. But we had to consume a full gallon per day. Sometimes I would reduce it if I had somewhere to go and knew I couldnt make the car trip without stopping to pee evety 10 minutes. Symptoms would return. Now, 2.5 years later, most symptoms are gone if I keep up the water intake, some electrolytes and b vitamins. Especially b1. The b1 eliminates dysatonomia in about an hour. I use benfotiamine but other forms work S well.

Low blood pressure more so on standing, palpitations , chest pain (under cardiology which have taken so long to get answers or results back - 6 months so far and have an appointment at the end of September to discuss my stress test as I reported pain on arriving home after running on treadmill in my chest and up the sides of my neck. . They put me on a small dose of Bisoprolol, I couldn’t tollerare this made me worse. Blood pressure and heart rate dropped even more. This was 3 months after I had initially seen them. As had 48 ECG tape done and was very symptomatic. Chest pain was worse after three days in it and SOB. I understand how much pressure they are under. I recently saw my doctor, as I felt so ill she put me on Mirtazapine- anti depressant and demised the PoTs theory. She said my heart rate was still in normal ranges where as the other doctor said it could be POTS, after doing a Lean test at home myself. My resting heart rate is around 51 shoots up by 30 or more when I stand. Always feel weird standing, so many weird symptoms, not sleeping. Have been off sick from work for 6 weeks now. As things have gotten worse. Been ill for 2 years.Past from pillow to post. So many tests. Doctors think I am making it up I am sure. However I was never an ill person. Miss my normal life. Are you both better now?

Also how much vitamin B1 did you take please. I have just started taking a Vitamin B complex. Plus Magnesium Taurate once daily., and the 15mg of Mirtazapine doctor prescribed as I begged her in tears for something to help me sleep.Dr Gupta you are amazing. Without your videos I think I might have given up. The depression that comes with not knowing what’s wrong with you is just horrendous. I just wish I could get rid of the chest pain, palpitations I get after exertion or eating. Sometimes at rest also. Thank you for your post about B1. I hope you and your wife are both well now?

Bless you! I was diagnosed with POTS, mast cell syndrome and long covid and felt parked due to my condition(s). Your attitude to patients and getting to the heart of the matter is refreshing. I’ve subsequently turned to herbal remedies, tinctures, fresh royal jelly (seems to help due to ATP) and taken private microbiome tests to dig deeper to the heart of the matter… been treating hefty bacterial infection of eggerthella and ecoli/shigella, albeit doctors ignored my findings/private tests…. Tis helping reduce pots symptoms… keep up the great work.

Such a refreshing change to hear a doctor who focuses so clearly on the whole patient and quality of life. Very interesting

I have been telling my cardiologists for two years that I feel so much better after i.v. fluids. I even had reconstructive ankle surgery, and felt great for days because of the fluids. I had my yearly physical with my primary care physician last week and told her the same thing. Fortunately, she listened and ordered me 2 litters a week. Imagine my surprise when I came across Dr. Guptas video confirming what I suspected. Thank you Dr. Gupta, and thank you to my primary Dr. Spielberg.

@@ering4131 Hi Erin, I’m sorry to hear that. The post-COVID problems are many and varied, with perhaps the most common ones being fatigue and dry cough. All need symptomatic management which is best under doctor supervision. Commonly post-Covid problems result in a reduction of normal activity and need for rest. As the doctor here explained so well, gently-graded exercise with a Physiotherapist can help with gradual reconditioning and fitness.

you are not in SA are you? Do you know anyone who can help me? I have had severe POTS now for almost half of my life and I feel so much better after saline IV but unfortunately I rarely get them. I only being given them in hospital after being ambulanced due to collapses where I couldn't stand again. Due to the POTS I have to rely on a lot of home help from NDIS and need a wheelchair when out. Without support worker, Im stuck at home. I would love to be able to find a way to get saline infusions regularly seeing they help me for 2 to 3 days. (GET does not work for me and meditations have had minimal affect)

@@ering4131 If you are in Melbourne.. Dr Donald Lewis''s old ME/CFS clinic if its still about (he's deceased now but he had trained others who were working at his clinic) used to offer some POTS patients saline IVs. That place is the only place in Australia that I know was using saline IVs regularly for POTS patients. (to see if your daughter has POTS or not, look up the "poor man's test" for POTS and you can test her at home if you cant find a dr to do this test in his clinic. I think it works just as well as tilt table testing to diagnose POTS. Just make sure you get a stable laying heart rate reading before doing the standing part of the test.

Wow, this is huge! Thank you thank thank you. You offer hope to so many!

I wish all doctors were like you.

Your ability to explain these conditions is so well done. Thank you!

Great doctor, who really cares and truly deserves his title.

Absolutely amazing video! A doctor who is so genuine and wants to help people have a better quality of life is priceless! POTS used to control my life and I slowly got better.

I started eating mostly organic food. I found an amazing naturopathic doctor who did bloodwork and found out I had extremely low Vitamin D and B12. I also take metoprolol that is prescribed by my regular doctor. I was extremely weak and started doing exercises from on my couch. Leg lifts and simple exercises. I got stronger and stronger and I don’t think about it anymore. POTS does not rule my life anymore. I just got home from a beautiful hike in the rain with my two little boys and there is nothing more precious to me than to be able to go outside and smell the fresh air and enjoy the outdoors with my children. 💕

Thank you so much for this info and for truly carrying for your patients! We need more doctors like you who are willing to look at treatments that are not in the mainstream. I've been dealing with docs for over 3 decades who just don't seem to want to believe you or help you because you don't fall into an easy drug prescription diagnosis.

What an awesome human being. It's hard finding a doctor that goes above and beyond.

I love this. Thank you. You are a special human being

Thank you Dr. Gupta. Could you do a video sometime on neurally mediated hypotension as this is also a huge problem for patients who have it. Our heart rates do not go up on standing but our blood pressure plummets and we start to faint. We also have all the other typical dysautonomia problems. Thank you for these great videos. It is heartening to hear a doctor Who actually takes these conditions seriously.

There need to be a love button on KZread for videos like this. Thank you dr Gupta…this gives me real hope for a future of simple treatments like this for all of us out here.

Thank you for being a Doctor who cares!

I cannot express how much this video has given me hope. I have been pushing for advocation and investigation within the Canadian healthcare system and have only managed to get a referral after collapsing in the ER twice. The mentality you have of caring for the patient and not the inconvenience of the physician is what patients like myself need. We need voices that are, as you said, treating the patient and not just the disorder. I hope to learn more from you and your channel to take to my Canadian providers. Thank you for your information and resources.

I lost my daughter due to POTS, dysautonomia; and a neurologist who failed to treat her properly. After seeing him for over a year, she researched her symptoms tirelessly, and approached him with the possibility of POTS. After a delay of over 6 months, we were able to have a tilt table test done in Birmingham, it was diagnostic for POTS. He failed to treat her for it, and we didn’t understand enough about it to realize that what he was doing was wrong. Five years ago, I was out of town, and she drove down to Alabama from Nashville with a friend to get treatment for an unrelenting headache. He left a prescription for a fentanyl patch at the desk for her without seeing her, he hadn’t seen her for over 6 months. She filled it at the pharmacy down the street, recommended to her by his office, and put the patch on. Her friend drove her back to Nashville and she went to bed early, ‘because she was acting goofy and really tired’. She never woke up. I got a call from her friend early that morning, the EMTS were there,and she was non~responsive. She was gone, lost to us forever. A wedding, grandchildren, and a house full of joy during holidays would never happen for her, or for us. We have tried to stop him, but to quote someone we went to for help, ‘he was a big dog in a small town’. No one , it turn out, was willing to try and stop him. So here we are, daughter, sister, and aunt forever lost to us. I am so thankful that people who see this video will have information, and a doctor who cares enough to make a difference. God bless you all.

My God - my heart goes out to you and your family. ICam suffering with POTS for 3 years now and can sympathize with what she was going through . Life is so unfair.

Ever since I was little, many decades ago, I have suffered from ill health. Many diagnoses, glandular fever, other serious illnesses. Then diagnosed with Orthostatic Intolerance, similar symptoms to POTS. Wow, what a simple procedure. If only Drs would listen to us as you do, life would be so much easier. That alone can make a world of difference instead of saying no, we can’t do that. Many years in bed, in pain and suffering could be turned into productive society members. Bless you.

A real world doc Martin! ❤

Thank you for this display of the kind of holistic thinking needed in medicine.

Thank you doctor for your caring & compassionate video! I wish you were in the US. I've suffered from symptoms since age 21, diagnosed with FM in 1988, but got worse a few decades later. I was diagnosed with POTS in 2011, when I failed a TT test. Never got any sort of treatment and have been discounted for so long despite the diagnosis. I also have many other conditions, causing pain, but the enlightened moment from this video was a possible hereditary component and something sets it off, like a virus. My Mom was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after birthing me, and she told me she got a bad flu and that was it, chronic fatigue & pain. Interesting that she was more recently diagnosed with POTS at age 83!!! So both of us with fatigue & pain & other symptoms, both diagnosed with POTS within a decade of each other. 🤔 I have subscribed to your channel and will send this link to my Mom!! Thanks so much.

Thank you for such an informative video. If only more doctors would take the time to learn and acknowledge patients in this manner.

Great video. Thanks for advocating for people with these conditions. We need more Doctors like you!

What a wonderful compassionate Dr ❤

Thank you for all the good information and for teaching others about this.

This is so interesting. It’s a great example of how physicians can treat patients holistically when given the freedom to do so, rather than responding only to the diagnosis with an ‘if this, then that’ approach.

Finally a TRUE professional and hands down best Cardiologist in the world and they don't exist in the united states

I wish every doctor took the same approach that you do! Thank you for this very informative video✨😊

Doctor Gupta, you saved my life. I chanced upon this video while researching about long COVID and dysautonomia and immediately increased my salt intake after I watched this, and I got healed essentially instantly after being bedridden for practically a whole year.
