It’s refreshing to see that there’s someone looking in at POTS to find what’s triggering it in the first place…then finding ways to heal & retrain the brain (CNS) to respond as it was designed to. Looking forward to many more videos!!

I got POTS(self-diagnosed) after Covid. My primary care doctor was unable to diagnose it, cardiological exam showed my heart was perfectly fine. Neurologists here refuse to take in Covid related patients......I was helpless. I ended up dealing it with my self. I performed acupuncture for myself, practice Wim Hof breathing every day, doing mild exercise... Now it's been a year since the first outbreak of the symptoms, and I think I have had 90% recovery.

Glad you’re getting better. I had amazing benefits with near infrared lights. I even shine them in my ears so they get to the penal gland (melatonin maker). I also am mindful of circadian rhythm so I can recover at night. I’m doing very well compared to other long Covid cases I know. GlyNac has been very helpful also. I take it before bed.

I had 3 years of POTS symptoms that went away with ultra-high doses of injected methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12)...when i told my autonomic neurologist that the B12 my endocrinologist was giving me was doing this, he said "yeah...that can happen.".......ok.....then why didn't you make the recommendation???? Why just tell me to drink more water, take salt pills and all that jazz? Good grief! Why was i even seeing an autonomic neurologist if known causes are simply ignored??

Hi, I’m currently in the process of being diagnosed with POTS. I have had all the symptoms for over 10 years but as I also have anxiety and depressive disorder I feel as though POTS may have gone under the radar for a long time. I actually went to my GP and told her my symptoms and asked to be referred to cardiology a few months back. When I saw the cardiologist he told me he was pretty much certain that I have POTS and has advised me to drink a lot of water and increase my salt. I am still under their care and awaiting my next appointment. This video has been really informative and helpful for me. It’s good to learn so much in one two KZbin videos. I look forward seeing more of them. Thank you so much ❤

My cardiologist and autonomic neurologist told me to drink lots of water and take salt pills, too...then I saw an endocrinologist who put me on B12 injections. My b12 serum level was never low but ultra-high doses of injected methylcobalamin made my POTS symptoms completely reverse/resolve. Doctors don't often fully consider the possibility of "functional b12 deficiency" ...the just rely on B12 serum levels and they really shouldn't, but they aren't typically educated very well on vitamin deficiencies.

I think I’ve had Pots since I was sixteen but after an EEG test my parents were told that I’d got Epilepsy. No one told me but I’d fainted at work, I was always dizzy, exhausted, tired, in pain but I thought that it was normal, I picked up any viruses going around and then Glandular Fever aka the Epstein Barr virus and I never seemed to recover. I became bed ridden for twelve years and after a lot of research I contacted a specialist who said that I’d got ME/CFS. That was in the 1980’s and it was nicknamed Yuppie Flu. I was later told that I’d got Fibromyalgia, I had a lot of muscle pain, and told that I’d got Chronic Pain Syndrome. Next came heart problems from Cardiac Syndrome X, Supra Ventricular Tachycardia, to Paroxysmal Atrial Fibulation and then Pots. Now I’ve been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Sjogren’s Syndrome and after a Pots related fall, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I broke my thumb, Sprained my wrist, Cracked some ribs, got a Tibial Plateau Fracture, and sprained my ankle. I’m now using a wheelchair, I can’t walk, weight bear, my knee won’t bend, it just stick’s straight out and I’ve got foot drop and damage to the Sciatic and Peroneal nerves diagnosed after an EEG nerve conduction test I can’t sit in my wheelchair for long before I get sciatica pain going down my legs. I’ve now got a Herniated Disc Bulge after twisting around in my Wheelchair. I’ve seen the best and the worst of our wonderful NHS. and at the moment it’s at its worst. I’m still strong but tired of trying but not for much longer as I’ll be 80 years old next June. I’d say that I’m justifiably fed up.

Good to hear there is someone who takes this seriously. I had pots when I was in my 20's and 30's . Now at 74 I am still having trouble standing in one place. Don't know what my HR is . I am ok if I move around. A slight stroke has left me with spastic paralysis on the right side. They just sent me home, no instructions. I have developed my own therapy after trying physical therapy that didn't help. I now do swimming for 30 min , 3x weekly and I incorporate music. I actually dance in the water on the horizontal. My idea was it would teach my brain to talk to both sides of my body the same. You know I think it helps. Now after listening to your talk I feel more confident that I am on the right track. It looks stupid but it is my Joy.

Most natural remedies help me fall asleep and feel better with less sleep but they don’t help me stay asleep. What did you do to get 10-12 hours of sleep.

@becky6598 10 ай бұрын

@@jaeshasway I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble sleeping. I also had a LOT of difficulty sleeping at first (and agree that not enough sleep makes it much worse), but that improved slowly with treatment and supplements. During the worst times, I found that listening to guided visualizations or soft music (the Abide app or channel) helped me fall asleep. I still often play abide soft music if I have trouble falling asleep or falling back asleep. After 3 months, I was able to sleep a bit better, though I still woke up often. Then I went to my parents for a month of vacation (last December), and that's when I was able to consistently get 10-12 hours. During this time I did a couple of things to help - before going to bed, I took 1 to 2 Cortisol Manager tablets, magnesium L-threonate (also took this in the afternoon/early evening), 200mg (liquid) L-theanine, and melatonin (less than 1mg extended release seems to work the best). I also took Adaptocrine twice a day. The Adaptocrine and Cortisol Manager are expensive-ish but worth it when you need it, and they help support your adrenal glands, which may be in part related to developing the dysautonomia. I also used earplugs since my nephew was staying with us and he can be noisy in the mornings. Over the last year I found my energy and sleep improved enough so that I no longer take the adaptocrine or the melatonin. I still wake up 3-5 times per night (and on rare occasions every hour), but I usually can fall back asleep quickly. I get about 7-9 hours now, though if I didn't have to get up for work I would sleep more. I recently restarted taking the L-theanine to help when I have trouble falling back to sleep, as that seems to help very well, and quickly for that, and doesn't make me groggy the next day. I hope this can be helpful. I still have some degree of dysautonomia, but no longer have POTS.

Hi Josie, I’m doing similar therapy, and yes it’s expensive. On the other hand, much of the same effects can be gotten through slowly ramping up to normal everyday activities. Check out the steady coach KZbin channel - Dr Arthur has a free program on her website. It’s focused on dizziness/balance problems, but I have those as well, and for many of us POTS/disautonomia, dizziness, fibromyalgia, and other chronic disease are all just examples of neural circuit problems. I have had all the symptoms discussed in this video done June 2022, and the POTS improved greatly over 3 weeks of better and longer sleep (9-11 hours per night). So maybe you can start by just seeing if you can get good sleep for longer consistently. I had to find some good supplements to help with that, but it’sm much cheaper than therapy.

One question comes to mind when hearing about these case studies and that is, how do you work with patients who get exhausted very easily?

Haha I am using a different camera! Thanks for noticing. Good question. It applies for most people I see. In the biomarkers I’m watching, you can see fatigue very quickly in the function. That may look like a pupil dilating or a pulse flattening or an eye movement losing stability. Those become markers of fatigue. We will rest for a short period and allow recovery and then go again working in short spurts in a single session, then taking 1-3 hours of rest between sessions. We are adjusting all of the times based on what I am seeing. The response time in neural tissue is most faster than what we think of in muscles, tendons or ligaments. We are looking to apply a consistent challenge sufficient to force adaptation but to maintain function. Hope that gives some color to how we think about fatigue! Take care

As somebody who has had POTS since teenage years if not since birth (constipation and indigestion since 2 weeks old -- I'm 52 now), I find this ridiculous. Although obviously it would be great if this was true. My experience is this: it comes and goes. Good times are followed by bad times. It's a dysautonomia. Nothing functions normally. Not standing up or blood pressure. Not digestion or being able to hold pee or poo inside or get it out as one would expect. Temperature control, no can't do that. Sleep, oh please. 21 degrees of Celcius and my digestion shuts down. I get up after eating carbs or more than 1 dl, I will vomit. I vomit when showering. I can do stuff if I refrain from eating and drinking, but carry something heavier like groceries and I will vomit. Yet, if I exercise slowly enough I can build up my endurance, but it will ALL finally end up in me in bed for weeks if not for months. Been through this in cycles for 20 years now. I've been through the typical ridicule and hypochondria accusations, but having doctors invent miracle cures without addressing half of the stuff related to POTS, like hypermobility/vein/connective tissue issues, autoimmune markers related to stress hormone receptors this all is just getting really old. Add to that mast cell activation syndrome etc. It's not like we all don't know that this is a dysautonomia and it would be great if our brains/endocrine systems would function correctly, but they don't. I grant that sudden and mild cases - FOR FUCK'S SAKE, FOLLOW ALL HE IS SAYING - but then it's not likely to be POTS but something between ME/CFS and POTS as in not mitochondrial disease or actual dysautonomia.

My first dysautonomia experience occurred after taking a certain medication, Cymbalta i believe. Then it occurred after stinging nettles, then after a bug bite, then while driving on the 405 a few times after having ozone therapy with glutathione. I now believe it was due to excipient materials in the glutathione. I also had dysautonomia after the flu shot which also retriggered food sensitivities. And the last time was after a dysport injection. Ive never been covid vaxed and will stay away from all needles! Also have a history of car sickness and dizziness as a child especially. From what i understand this is an indication of some enzyme issue that suggests an autoimmune situation which i know i have. Also a history of viruses includes epstein barr, lyme and i have mold. More to the story but I'll leave it there.

@dockeiser Жыл бұрын

Sure, different eye movements and components of vision utilize different combinations of pathways in the brain. When a pathway is activated, if healthy, activation will cause blood flow to increase in the local area. You can classify them by the type of movement like pursuits, saccades, optokinetic reflexes, vergence eye movements or vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Additionally you can classify them on the direction of movement, whether peripheral or foveal vision is being biased and by which visual field. Hope that helps answer your question!

Great Video, my Dysautonomia/Pots/orthostatic Hypotension started after I took Levaquin. I have severe nerve damage from the medication confirmed by skin punch biopsy in all 3 biopsy areas, from ankle to arms. Could the nerves that were damaged be a cause of the autonomic dysfunction? I suspect that treatment would be different? It’s been 3 years and can’t spend anytime upright.

@ChipsAplentyBand Жыл бұрын

Four years ago I was prescribed Leviquin for a bad sinus infection. The Leviquin incidentally cured a long-term skin infection (in 2 days) but either my sinus infection was viral and so that virus, or the Leviquin, left me with POTS-like symptoms. I began chiropractic care as if for POTS three months later because I couldn't afford to go the cardiology route. Over some months I improved, though due to a prior decompression/fusion surgery (C4-C6, titanium plate with six screws on the front of my cervical spine) my chiropractor has to adjust my cervical spine around the fused cervical vertebrae. In just the last few weeks (July into August 2023) my POTS-like symptoms have returned. The only significant change in my routine that I'm aware of is me having had a 'temp' chiropractor adjusting me for the past 6 weeks while my regular chiropractor is recovering from hip surgery. The temp doctor adjusts me a bit harder and more sharply and so I've wondered if that difference in treatment 'style' might have re-aggravated something that's not usually a problem for me now. Cervical instability/compressed nerves in the upper neck are thought to be one possible cause of POTS/Disautonomia symptoms. The brain stem could also be involved. The common denominator here seems to be potential nerve damage. Until I get back to my regular chiropractor I'm trying to focus on nutritional supplements that support good nerve health plus am taking electrolytes, anti-inflammatory supplements, and staying well hydrated. Meanwhile, my symptoms are worse or better intermittently, both from day to day and from hour to hour within a given day. Thoughts or suggestions, anyone?

You can't fully rely on those tests unless they tell you you have a low/deficient level. The tests can show a normal level but that doesn't measure what's actually getting into your cells. B12 deficiency presents differently in different people and most doctors don't get a lot of training on it. They know the basics, usually, which leaves a lot of patients not getting proper treatment.

@@DrAngelFace123 Thanks so much for this valuable information! I watched one vid on EBV and my mouth just dropped as it sounds like he was describing my life.

Sorry Jen. Did you catch CoVid too? I hate this damn virus. POTS is scary @times. I'm 26♌ btw.

So did you improve vascularisation (or neovascularisation ) or neuronal growth/recovery with this exercise ?

V interesting video!! Do u know if there is any doctor in Ireland that could do the treatment that u explain? In my case, I got Covid in April 22, and developed endothelial dysfunction - dysautonomia. My blood flow is v impaired, and under minimal physical or intellectuall exertion, or by sitting upright or stand for a very few minutes, I experience chest pressure (suspected microvascular anginas), dizziness, confusion, & my oximetre shows then intermitent drops in oxygen down to the 70s or 80s. My VO2Max is 12, & my age is 43Female. Do u think ur treatment could help me? Many thanks, Isabel

I'm 26 and I'm from the Philippines. I'm not yet diagnosed but I think I have POTS. Ive been going to the doctors and they dont know how to listen. I feel like my feelings are invalidated. Do you know anyone I can work with here in the Philippines?

Hey any updates in your diagnosis?

I am a diagnosed POTs patient seeking a cause. How does a “mild right beating positional nystagmus with eyes closed” compare to this tracking phenomenon you describe? Could this nystagmus be indicative of reduced blood flow to a similar area in the brain?

Hi there. Unfortunately there was no reply. I have the same question as you. Did you find an answer in the meantime? Best wishes to you!
