Modafinil has been life changing for me. I feel a lot like my old self again (mentally). I didn’t realize HOW bad it was until I took this medication and saw significant improvement. It hasn’t negatively impacted my heart rate. It has really improved my quality of life

Thank you SO much! I have been so impossibly exhausted, even after maintaining exercise for over a month. I was at my wits end when I saw your video! I immediately contacted my cardiologist to see if I could try it. He is very strict about medications so I sent your video to him. Thank you!!

This is so sharp and I love the color. You're giving very good info. Thank you, Dr. Gupta👍👍 for ❣!

Professional and helpful as always! I love your videos and I love you as a person :) you are so empathic and you are genuinely trying to help people.I know this video is not about this but you helped me out to much talking about palpitations and ectopic beats.Im a professional swimmer and I sometimes get palpitations after hard workouts(i’ve been checked out by quite a few cardiologist but they couldn’t rest my mind as you did even if every test came back fine they didnt take the time to explain to me what might be happening).Keep up the good work!

Modifinil is great! Your POTS videos are awesome. I'm going to show them to my sister so she can tell her cardiologist.

Thank you for these videos - it's so hard to find doctors who understand POTS and dysautonomia.

What a wonderfully informative video. I plan on trying this medication soon

Thank you again and again and again Dr. Gupta.

Hi Dr. Sanjay. This is such good information. Over the years my son has had so much fatigue and has caused a lot of inconvenience. It is a challenging condition.

I will bet many of these people with POTS also are people with ME/CFS. Many of us with ME/CFS also have POTS. ME/CFS scientists have found an overall problem with energy and they know it is in the plasma. For example, immune system cells are in the normal range and know what to do but they run out of energy doing it. I suspect our POTS is related to the utter system-wide exhaustion for some of us. The Workwell organization has some recent studies that show a significant CO issue when having ME/CFS patients do a two day Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Test (CPET). I hope Dr. Gupta will comment on this some time in a future video. His insights are great!

Is Clonidine a potentially good alt to modafinil? I've heard it can have other positive benefits, beyond just the brain fog issue.

Back is 1980s with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome they loaded us with antidepressants and thyroid meds saying brain fog was cause by problems in HPA axis. They also gave amphetamines which made rest of you go faster but with a still slow brain. I wrote study and facilitated support groups for this for 23 years I had over 400 members with same symptoms.

The brain fog is the worst part of having POTS, and I was diagnosed nine years ago. I could live with all the other symptoms, but having my brain off-line makes working impossible. I have taken modafinil for my POTS, but never for more than a few days, because I cannot fall asleep at a decent hour after I take it first thing in the morning. It was originally suggested that I start taking it back in 2011 when I was first diagnosed with POTS. I'm going to do further research to see if the sleeplessness abates after I take it for a while.

The only downside has been sometimes over exerting myself and then having extra sore joints from hEDS.

Melanie, I think people like us with hyper mobility spectrum disorders/EDS have been very much ignored. Only now it seems to be changing with experts like Dr/Mr Gupta, I asked about PITS about 4 years ago, no it’s rare I was told (as with everything else) I blacked out twice in 5 days, once coming down stairs, a bonus was it did something to my shoulder and elbow that was troubling me for a couple of years. Of course nothing showed on x rays 🙄 then I blacked out crossing a road, smashing my face against the road, my face was a mess, I hurt my wrists and dislocated my thumb too, Damn think wouldn’t stay in place. I realised by afternoon I needed to go to a & e, the dr was shocked, he was disgusted that I’d been ignored after telling drs for years. He couldn’t believe I hadn’t broken any facial bones or my wrists. He began to examine me, he took a finger then said ‘it’s silly seeing how your fingers are moving because you already told me you’re hypermobile’ I decided I liked him, he listened. He triggered referrals to neurology and cardiology. That was auto 2019, I was sent 3 appointments from cardiology, they cancelled all 3. Chasing it up I found they’d discharged me! You’ll know how much energy it takes to chase things up. Years ago I was diagnosed with bjhs, now it doesn’t exist. I was told I’d be fine by 40 because I’d have stiffened up, it wouldn’t affect anything else….he was wrong! Now the rheumatologist I’m supposed to see was trained by him…she’s pointless too

I'm about to start taking this. It's my Hail Mary. This is the third time I've tried going to college and I'm 22.

I have had POTS since the 2nd of January 2013. I am very happy to see that you are so interested in the subject as a cardiologist told me years ago in Yeovil, Somerset that I was wasting his time. Fortunately I do have medical knowledge and I had 1 GP that listened to me so I was able to get to ULCH and get a official diagnosis of POTS along with hyper mobility which is also common for the condition as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. The only medication that has worked for me for all of these years has been prednisolone. I was taking 5mg daily and now living further north I take 7.5mg daily. There are so many comorbidities that affect most systems in the body simply because it the autonomic system causing the body to act in shock everytime I move and sometimes even sitting still. This has had a direct impact on my heart due to such a fast sinus rhythm that I now have more in depth heart problems. Certain medications that work for some people do not work for me. The prednisolone works for fatigue due to the body's misuse of my adrenal gland. When it comes to quality vs. quantity and knowing 7.5mg of prednisolone is the highest dose that should have the least long term effect on bone degradation, this has been a life saver for me. I do wish you would contact me privately to be able to discuss all I have learned about POTS that is still not being talked about. I am only in Durham and would be happy to travel by train to be a Guinea pig if it helps. Keep up the amazing videos and I love the piano background.

jewellryaddict, you might like to read The Polio Paradox by Dr Richard Bruno about post polio syndrome as this touches on CFS and fibromyalgia. Post polio has many similar symptoms but is not mentioned often as we polio survivors are all dying out now. Also many thousands diagnosed with CFS and fibro may actually have had non-paralytic polio, undiagnosed, and may now be unwittingly suffering pps. Just a thought particularly if anyone close to you had polio.

You probably don't answer personal questions, but I'll try. I had a cardiac ablation December 16th 2019. Two months later I am still having episodes which include faintness, nausea, and a racing heart lasting up to a couple of minutes. Admittedly this is better than before the ablation when episodes lasted up to 4 hours and I passed out more than once. I wore a Holter monitor after the procedure and the doctor said the analysis was normal. It doesn't feel normal. Will this clear up completely at some point?

Hi. I hope I will find time for the consultation with you in York. Currently I live in Leeds. Please make a video about other POTS symptoms. My heart rate and blood pressure is now absolutely normal coz I take bisoprolol, but I still have occasionally shortness of breath (dyspnoea) , dizziness, sleeping disturbances, post exertional malaise, strenuous exercice intolerance ( squatting, push ups). Intolerance not because of the heart symptoms, but because of my nervous system hypersensitivity, even though I am not stressful and not worried. So dizziness, fatique, tinnitus, head blood pressure/circulation, reddish eyes, blurry vision, eye floaters may appear after strenuous exercices (if 15 push ups or 15 squatting I may call strenuous?) . I am also become easily overwhelmed and feeling over stimulated in busy environments, where a lot of hustle and bustle. Also my other symptoms, but now they are rare, may include: brain fog, light-headedness, blurry vision, eyes floaters, red eyes, pinching feelings in my eyes, unability to walk in straight line, coordination problem, forgetfulness, obsessive thoughts, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, appetite loss, very acute feelings (odors, notices, lights), tinnitus, pulsations in my head, vibration in my head, clicking noise in my head, insomnia, tremor (hands), derealization, depersonification, feeling of the lump or stone in the throat, excessive sweating, coldness, numbness, burning feelings on my skin (nettle-like) and many others. I even had very strange symptoms like pain in my hairs. Also some smells on the streets may make me dizzy or cause dyspnoea ( gasoline,paint,nail polish removers, bleach, maricuana). So I have some kind of hypersensitivity symptoms, especially in case of stress/bad sleep/sun heat/exercices/watching some movies (horror for example). I have complete alcohol and caffeine intolerance. Even few sips make me symptomatic. I also have very bad head pressure and blood circulation in the head when I am flying in the plane. Also tinnitus and pain in the ears when I am flying. So my heart pressure is now sorted by bisoprolol, but is there any drugs for the head pressure and head related symptoms? My MRI is good. Maybe I should make CT as well? And maybe neck CT/ultrasound?
