How is ur pvc and headache

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have been diagnosed with POTS and my doctor put me on this medication. She didn't explain much so I'm kind of hesitant take it so thank you for giving me more insight into it.

I have been following your videos since diagnosed with POTS. Thank you very much for this video and all the time you spend educating everyone. Just thank you. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was recently put on Midodrine for POTS and it is nice to really understand what the doctor is trying to accomplish with it. Thank you for taking your time to make this video.

Midodrine is the only thing that I have not tried for my POTS. But I've gone from being too weak to feed and dress myself, too weak to hold a bath towel, to being able to bench press half my bodyweight. My heart rate was about 60 lying and would double just by sitting up. Standing would immidiately triple it. I didn't need the 10 minutes. Now, I might not even meet the technical diagnostic criteria on a good day. But I still have POTS. I have the fatigue. And the many many other symptoms. I'm still sick. But I'm much improved. Hard to imagine taking on more RX when I have tried so hard to rid myself of them. Don't give up, y'all. Thanks for caring, Doc. My cardiologist could not possibly care less to help me deal with this. Had my annual visit. He had no idea to whom he was talking, or my diagnosis. Sigh.

What did you do??????

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! There is so much to learn from you ...

I’m in the process of stepping up Midodrine as an experiment to deal with my orthostatic intolerance from CFS. I’m at 10mgx3times per day and have absolutely seen benefit in blunting my heart rate upon standing, with no increase in blood pressure (even when laying down). I have also observed a slight drop in RHR from 62 to 57, with an overall improvement in HRV.

Thank you so much Dr. Gupta!!!!!

This has helped me soo much I’m soo thankful for it ! Thanks Doctor for ur videos

Excellent talk. Thank you, Dr Gupta.

Hi Dr. Sanjay,this is valuable information.I cannot express enough how much that I am so grateful. You are so clever.A lot of people do not know this syndrome.Also some doctors are not aware.Tiredness is a huge problem.It is a daunting illness. I do prefer a method where less medication is used although maybe it will work. You are indeed a very experienced doctor I value all you say. I appreciate. Thank you so very much.

Great information! I thought I had POTS for years. Recently I found out I had Paroxysmal Parasympathetic Syndrome which to me is similar to POTS. I was put on Bethanechol 3x a day and Midodren when needed. I can tell it’s helping. Dr have you ever treated anyone for Paroxysmal Parasympathetic Syndrome? Your thoughts on Bethanechol? Thank you 🙂👍🏼

Thank You. I wish my doctors weren't as inept as they are. I just asked my cardiologist about midodrine for my POTS, and dysautonomia, and he refused saying it could make things worse. I'm going to die dealing with U.S doctors, and just living in the U.S, at these times, in general.

Most physicians don't go to medical school because they want to practice medicine, they go to medical school because they want to _be doctors_ which is a completely different attitude. So their contempt for their clients is no surprise. There's no alternative than to keep searching, and remember it's not your fault if most **seem** to be jerks; most **are**.

Thanks Dr. I've been having what feels like pressure in my veins on my right calf muscle especially in the morning upon waking this only started when I went on testosterone replacement therapy because it was very low, would the testosterone be a cause for pots? When I stand up i nearly pass out I'm 44 fit train 5day's a week 13% body fat it's horrible feeling like this?

Omg this is what I have!! I’ve been trying to explain to my doctors the feelings I have when my heart rate goes up and I feel it in my legs. My heart rate spikes just going up the stairs.

Amazing video Doctor, but I have a question. I have familial Mediterranean Fever , I take Colchicine and I have a lot of heart palpitations. I did all my tests but the doctor said everything is fine. So I want to ask if colchicine cause heart palpitations or not.

Thank you doctor, is there a side effect of developing hypertension when getting old ?

Sir I wanna beg you to make a video for a myocardities patient , how can it be completely healed?😣🙏🙏

Dr Gupta can u talk more about thyroid medications and how it can negatively effect the heart. I have been on armour thyroid for at least half of my life and I am 51 years old. Thank u! This would be very helpful to women & of course some men.⭐️🌴⭐️

How do you determine what kind of pots you have my neurologist never really told me....

I don't have POTS either, but i wonder if midodrine slows down metabolism?

Hi doc I’m sixteen is there a way I could get in touch about something? I have a bounding pulse which I can see in my neck my stomach and palpitations.

So I'm not sure if I have disautonamia. My heart rate skyrockets with any exertion but my heart rate actually skyrocket when I sleep. I also have pins and needles, feeling of cold water droplets on some parts of my body, and pins and needles when I eat carbs..not diabetic. I believe I had covid olin march but I recovered and dealing with these symptoms

Plz make a video on calcium channel blockers and which are better calcium channel blockers or beta blockers for ectopics

I'm a 43 year old 6'3" Male, was diagnosed with pots 10 years ago. Heart dr put me on .5 mg of clonidine 2x daily and 1mg of clonazepam 3x daily. Diagnosed me on a tilt table test and the nurse doing the test told me that my heart rate jumped from 77 to 113 in 3 seconds. Never had any of the postural issues that supposedly comes with pots. I work residential construction so I'm pretty active plus walk 1 mile every morning except sundays. Starting to believe I just have a mineral and vitamin deficiency. Time will tell

Can midodrine and ivabradine be used together?

Midodrine did nothing for me which was very suropising,to my.doctors and myself.Do you know why that could be?

I'm taking this twice a day 5mg but it lowers my heart rate to 50 is this normal??

Hey Doc, I have been to countless doctors and gastro specialists but no one can figure out what’s going on with me. I’m 21 and have pretty severe acid reflux, It was caused by me being very overweight as a teen. But ever since I can remember I have been able to feel my heartbeat in my stomach/ esophagus. Even when I’m not doing much, it’s always there. It does get more pronounced after a fatty or greasy meal. But I don’t believe it ever goes away. A few doctors have tried to put me on anxiety medication to see if it would help, but it did not. Do you have any idea why I am able to feel my heart? What would you recommend me to do?

Can those with clotting factors take this?

i have very low hearr rate and low bp. i was diagonosed with pots but not the kind where heart rate increases, my blood pools in legs and i am dizzy and pass out. i am trying to understand the cause, maybe its low sodium or low thyroid or jsut the dysautomina itself. i am scared to take medicines that hurt me. i keep gong to er passing out. i am not needed my heart rate to go lower, it was 40 in er

Is it common to have Sensations in the body like you're being bitten by a bug and various body parts with neuropathic pots

sir i had a OHS one year ago ASD closure,i am always underweight in my whole life and they say it is because of my hole in the heart,but it was closed,but i dont gain any weight and i am still underweight i eat alot,i count my calorie intake,,1700-2000calorie everyday,,but cant gain weight can you help me sir thanks for your reply🙏

This drug has helped me tremendously, and I am sooooo sensitive to meds that I didn't have much hope. (I can't tolerate beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, even in tiny doses. After hearing your talk here though, I'm wondering if I could tolerate beta blockers better, combined with the Midodrine...) I only take a microscopic dose that most people wouldn't even feel, (a quarter of a 2.5, twice a day!) but it makes a HUGE difference for my constant fatigue and dizziness. Thank you so much for all your wonderful work to aid POTS patients and help us to not feel like we're hypochondriacs, or crazy. !!!

I am about to try the Midodrine and super nervous about it 😭. I too am sensitive to any medication so will start very low too. Do you take beta blockers in addition to the midodrine? If so, do you take them at the same time or only as needed?

Mididrine didn‘t work for me at all- I have severe OI . is there an explanation why?

I have a question? I was watching a interview with Warren buffet. He says he has drunk 5 cans of coke daily, eats junk food every day and many other no nos all his life. Why has this not caused him clogging of the heart, not that I want anything to happen to him, just find this interesting, thanks.

Hi Doctor Sanjay. Could you please do a video on PoTS and ectopic beats? I used to never have ectopic beats in my life until I have developed PoTS symptoms. What I find really weird is that my mum has DVT and maybe this could be a correlation as to why I have PoTS. Whenever I stand up I get ectopic beats. I don’t leave my bed anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just wish I knew why I get PVC's 30 mins to an hour after I eat that last for hours and hours. Lately it seems to happen more often. What is wierd if I lean forward they stop immediatly. If I lean back in my chair they start back up again. In the ER I could actually see this work on the machine. Lean forward they stop, lean back they start. But these have been bugging me nearly a year every day. Cardiologist put my on a 24 hour monitor and said I was fine and that was that.

I’m a 44 year old man from South Texas. I was recently diagnosed from this syndrome. It has literally destroyed my life. To make matters worse I live in the Rio Grande Valley Texas therefore no healthcare Is available to me due to the virus overwhelming out hospitals. We are at max capacity at every hospital. My cardiologist does not do telemedicine and going to office visits is an extreme risk. So I’m going untreated because of this pandemic. I’m just drinking as much water as I can. Please if you can help me in any way that would mean a lot.

Jenny C. I was treated by a psychiatrist for a few months for anxiety disorder ! My cardiologist here in South Texas said I was crazy!!! But I knew something about as wrong! I did my own homework and found out about POTs! When I mentioned it to him he started launching and said that was for females and that I had psychiatric issues! Finally I went to see an electro cardio physiologist and he did a tilt table test! Low and behold there it was! It was POTs! But now this doctor doesn’t know how to treat it! He knows I have it but doesn’t know much about the syndrome! Which upsets me because it’s not like this is a new syndrome! It’s been around long enough for someone to know something!!!! Meanwhile I feel paralyzed and can’t do anything with my children!

@@rmarvin211 Same here. All the doctors that suppose to treat Dysautonomias and POTs like Cardiologists and Neurologists said I was crazy, I was crying in their offices begging them to test me for Dysautonomias and POTS but they all refused and told me to go to Psychiatrists. Until the day come that I cannot even leave the house cos I cant even remain standing for an hour. Thats when I realized, I need to treat this myself cos these mfking inept doctors dont know shit, wont do shit and dont give a shit about their patients, apparently the 'Dr' title on their names are just words, they dont have the skills and compassion for it. So I fired them all, digged the internet for a year researching, searching for treatments and medications, and then I stumbled upon a European Online Pharmacy that sells Midodrine without prescription(online pharmacies like these are godsend, they make poor people like me afford medicines without going through alot of bullshit with alot of doctors). Im just starting on Midodrine yesterday, the lowest 2.5mg dose doesnt affect me, so now im hiking up my dosage to the adult recommended dosage which is 10mg, I hope this works or I have to hike up the dosage for another milligram(gosh). Anyway, I hope we all get through this, or atleast manage it to the point that we are almost normal, I have hope from things Ive read on the internet like online forums for POTS and the inputs of people with POTS like us are positive and theyre leading an almost normal life after also being told crazy by alot of doctors for years.
