All About POTS

2019-08-28に共有
In this video, I explain what POTS is, how it is diagnosed, and some of the treatment options available. POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a form of Dysautonomia which is a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system.

  • I commented on one of your previous videos but I have 4 bunnies and also POTS. I wanted to thank you for spreading awareness for our condition ❤.
  • You explained POTs really well, thank you. I'm going to be sharing this. I always get asked about what's wrong with me and POTs is a bit more tricky to explain clearly than gastroparesis is. Even though I HAVE POTs even I learned something from this! I knew with the temperature that it can cause extreme cold but I didn't know about the heat although it makes sense. I always get really sick from heat, which is irony since I live in Florida. Thank you again for making this video 💜

    This video is so helpful! I've been experiencing all of these symptoms and its got worse over the last couple of years. I find that I struggle most with my feet burning all the time and especially when they're warm. I come out in hives after standing and am finally getting a doctors appointment next week. Hopefully they're aware of what pots is because I'm pretty certain that's what it is. Thank you!
  • I have a lot of empathy for you. Life can already be though when everything is fine with your health. Thank you for all your videos. I just bought a bunny for my daughter and learned a lot from you. You are amazing.
  • Thank you for doing this Haley! You are one amazing young lady and we are so happy to have you as a volunteer!
  • Found this channel by complete mistake. Was looking at a few of your bunny videos and saw a pop up for this channel. Came over to see what it was all about, and was shocked to see that you are another POTSy. Wanted to say thank you for putting out this video and others. The more people that know about POTS and other dysautonomia's the better. And hopefully can get more answers with further research. I'm lucky to be considered now a higher functioning pots patient in that I can ride my bicycle for extensive miles with limited symptoms. But ask me to stand in a line at the grocery store and I have to refuse every time LOL, it is a sure way for me to be on the floor within minutes. Look forward to watching your other videos. And keep up the good work of spreading the word.
  • Amazingly informative video!!! POTS is a really rough thing to deal with!

    Bless you for bringing POTS to the forefront. I really applaud you for doing your rabbit videos, regular channel and balance everything else in your life while living with this. Keep up your wonderful work. I love both channels! ♥️🐇
  • Awesome video, Haley! Super educational for those who don’t know about POTS! Keep up the awareness :) Grateful we met because of POTS 💜
  • I have POTS and other health issues from hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos syndrome. I take the emerging repurposed POTS medication Pyridostigmine, which also treats my gastroparesis; and I take a nightly dose of Guanfacine to further treat my POTS and to improve my sleep and to prevent migraines. Other good POTS medications include Ivabradine, Atenolol, Propranolol, or Clonidine.
  • Thank you for making this video it was very infomative. I am in nursing school and i dont believe we will be learning about POTS, it will be nice to know if i ever have a patient with this condition🙂
  • @MMaria_1015
    just found out i most likely have pots waiting to be offically diagnosed so i can start treatments :)
  • I get brain fog and extreme fatigue through my respiratory condition, until you’ve experienced extreme fatigue you have no idea what it’s like. It’s like an out of body experience and I start saying the silliest of things or doing the most bizarre things. I once made my wife a coffee sandwich out of filter coffee graduals. A neuropathy is closing my lungs down from the bottom up because my brain says 'I’m not using that part of the lungs it’s too painful', that means my heartbeat is usually around 125 at rest to keep my sats up. I also have 'extreme persistent atopic asthma and use a nebuliser up to 8 times daily though usually I mix both meds together and use it 4 times. This again increases my heartbeat, small doses of salbutamol slows it down but large doses along with my ipatropium speeds it up. I work as the service lead for an information and advice service at a Disabled Peoples Organisation (DPO). Thank you very much for this video, the more understanding I have of other people’s conditions the better I can help them. The video is really well laid out and very informative.
  • Thank you! This was very insightful. I had no idea that brain fog wasn't something that everyone experienced every so often. I've just been writing off my daily brain fog as being tired while having Inattentive ADHD. Now, I'm wondering if there's more to it than that. 🤔 Anyways, thanks for the info!
