Does this sound like pots?

[Mummytolola23062011]

I've been getting a couple of symptoms recently and I'm wondering if anyone who suffers from pots thinks it sounds similar. I'm awaiting to see the GP!

Heart rate is 79 resting. Stand up and I feel fine for 2-5 seconds after that I get a whooshing feeling in my ears, blood rushing around my head, chest feels odd and heart rate raises to 121, it only stays high for a few seconds before dropping off to 72 and then climbing to mid 90's early 100's.

Heart rate whilst climbing the stairs rapidly increases and walking seems to have it really high 140-170 and I'm doing around 10k steps a day so not massively unfit.

Does this sound like pots? I wasnt sure if your heart rate needed to stay high for a set period of time after standing or not?

Thanks!

Is that your only symptom? I have POTS and although it's a sign, it's not the only one

Based on your post alone I'd say it sounds like sounds like like vasovagal syncope.

For comparison, my heart rate hits 280+BPM when standing up and I will pass out 90% if I'm not careful, my highest was 319bpm and I had to be given a medication in the A&E resus to help. Then you have the brain fog and tremors.

Honestly you sound like you have anxiety or VVS but the latter is also unlikely
