The Real Cause of POTS and How To END IT

The Real Cause of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and How To END IT
Are you experiencing dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, brain fog, low blood pressure, and fast heart rate?
Do you have trouble standing for more than a few minutes at a time? Hard time standing up? Do you or your kids get car sick easily? Have you been to a doctor about these symptoms only to be told that nothing is wrong and that it’s NOT related to your autoimmune issues?
You might have POTS, and it is not uncommon for those with autoimmunity. During this training, I will discuss POTS and how to discover the root cause of your struggles. And is POTS autoimmune?
Do you know your regular doctors and specialty clinics like Mayo or John’s Hopkin’s clinic do not have great solutions or results for POTS at all? Find out why POTS and related symptoms are some of the “easiest” autoimmune problems to solve for Dr.Maggie.
We will also bring on several alumni in our Transform Autoimmune Program to showcase as typical POTS case studies.
Find out their journey to discovering it was POTS, their journey trying to get help from regular doctors and specialists. Best yet, find out how they ended it.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. My symptoms started as a teenager which became more and more debilitating as I got older and raised a family. I’m 49 and was only diagnosed in 2019. Since I was 20, I’ve been on anti anxiety medication because they thought it was anxiety related. I’m on meds to lower my pulse, but am now mainly bedridden. My life has been completely upended. Thank you for giving me hope.

[@samhartford8677]

Ha! This was like reading my story. Except I think my symptoms probably started at birth. I'm 50 currently. I was on beta blockers (I only had anger management issues) for the high heart rate for years in my late twenties and thirties. In my thirties I went to the doctors, when I was considering starting a family, because I knew I just could not cope with it because of the constant fatigue. The doctor said I was fine (as they always said), but I still chose not to have children. Ten years later I was vomiting and bed ridden. Been like that for 7 years now. My experience: beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are contra-indicative. The problems is not the heart rate or the blood pressure spikes. The problem is why the body needs them. I got really in a bad state with the beta blockers in the end. My body would fight against the disease plus against the beta blockers and exhausted itself to the point that I had like pseudo-Addison's disease with skin tone changes and autoimmune symptoms until I stopped the beta blockers. I knew to stop the calcium blockers after a couple years because they just ended up increasing my heart rate even at rest (got them for muscle tremours and gastric pain - the one caused by lack of blood supply to the gut). My advice: try reducing the beta blockers and try reducing carbs.

[@kerrysue9280]

​@Sam Hartford how was your heart rate coming off the beta blockers? I'm terrified of ever coming off of mine because I don't want my tachycardia to get worse than it already is.

[@samhartford8677]

@@kerrysue9280 I had to do it over a 10-month period for the first time because I was on a really high dose. But I was in a place in my life then when I did not need to move as much and was not under as much stress as before. Now my heart rate is typically around 95-110 when sitting. It gets into 140-150 only if I do something physically active like go shopping etc. The problem really was that I needed a higher heart rate in order to have any energy and not lactic acid in my muscles. But you need to go with what your body needs. My experience was that my heart rate was not that much lower on beta blockers, although it limited the spikes. It's just that the beta blockers made my body work harder to function normally.

[@afshasultana6294]

Oh God . I feel the same... Currently on beta blockers. They dont really lower my HR but just stop the spikes. I am afraid to come off of them as I have really bad spikes in my BP and HR. It makes me totally bed ridden😢

[@DorindaASmithMS]

As an scientist specialized in autoimmunity, and as someone who has healed my own 7 autoimmune diseases and has helped thousands of others, we always test the root causes underneath the antibodies. Autoimmunity is always caused by a combination genetics, cellular deficiencies, toxins (both chemical and biologicals) and stress. All of this can be corrected and it’s so doable. The newer scientific root cause testing finds the deeper causes in about 3 weeks. Once found, it’s not difficult to correct root causes. ❤ 😊 ❤ You can feel better.

[@DrMaggieYu]

You're right that you absolutely can feel better! Autoimmunity is not talked about enough in conventional medicine. Dr. Maggie takes on the root cause approach and has developed a 5 pillar protocol for autoimmunity! You can watch her video on he 5 pillar protocol here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqxkoKpqtmChqs

Ibs, adrenal fatigue, high heart rate, estrogen dominate. I have every symptom. I stopped eating sugar, corn and gluten, a relaxed ketogenic diet. Now taking COQ10, vitamin B1( organic nutritional yeast), electrolytes, vit c, fermented foods, pre and pre biotic, parsley, clove,magnesium, vitamin D, castor-oil-packs on my liver, thyroid and kidneys and adrenals, tapping, dry brushing, lymphatic massage and drainage, deep breathing, hitt workout 💪 After 5 months of my protocol I am 85% better, I'm not and won't go to a Dr. I literally asked God what to do.

[@hannahw2697]

The first time I experienced my “dizzy spells” was 2003. I fell and hit my head. Over the years I’ve seen multiple cardiologists and psychologists. I’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, Lupus, and Sjogrens. I recently wore a 30 day heart monitor and I recording over 100 incidents of dizziness. But they told me I didn’t have POTS and wouldn’t give me a table tilt test. It was such a waste of time. I’ve given up on being diagnosed with anything many times because I always get my hopes up and I’m always let down with “we don’t know what’s wrong”.

[@wildwatashi]

Try finding a teaching hospital near you and schedule an appointment with a resident. There is a lot more passion about their career at that point. Everything they do is reviewed by more experienced doctors. Finding out what's wrong with you is a matter of getting put in front of the right group of specialists. You need to find a doctor who cares and won't dismiss you.

I am bedridden with POTS. I develpoed POTS at the beginning of 2019. My guess is maybe chronic stress and long term mold exposure has brought this on. My body has crashed recently and i am so scared. I am on a beta blocker and thats not controlling my heart rate anymore. Unlike most, my blood pressure is higher rather than lower and my resting heart rate is higher too. My heart increases 50+ beats when i stand. Its difficult to see a doctor because my POTS keeps me from working. This video is inspiring and gives me hope that maybe one day i can have a life again. Just have to find a way to make that happen.

One year later and Dr. Maggie has completely described my experience with the medical field. Lost our entire savings and still unable to work trying to find a dx. Jumping thru stupid red hoops and fire for insurance. Choosing to pay out of pocket to expedite things only to become more frustrated. Losing precious time with my IVF baby who is now 4 and I have been barely able to function for the past 3 of those 4. The alone was enough to destroy my mental health and nearly make me think about giving up to find relief. Now, finding social media and videos such as these …. I have fought harder than ever, been more direct than ever, and shed more tears than ever to get someone to believe me and know what the hell I am trying to describe and be patient with me while Itell my entire tale or AT LEAST read my symptom journal and research correlations. I’m not seeking drugs, I don’t even ask for pain relievers and just suffer so they take me more seriously. I’m so tired but want to truly LIVE my life.

I’m curious to see how to “end” my POTS… How ridiculous is Na when POTS is shown to affect RAAS and lowers Na+ reuptake? If we’re losing it, why is it wrong to treat with salt tablets or electrolyte drinks? I almost want to cry hearing the other people explaining their symptoms. I went 12 years undiagnosed, called hypochondriac, cardiologist said I was too young to have anything wrong but couldn’t explain my idiopathic tachycardia, and lived in fear of strenuous exercise because of my heart and losing my eyesight because of the (silent) migraines that made my optometrist think my retina was detaching. It’s thinning, but it’s still kicking. I didn’t have pain so the fact that my flashing twinkling lights were migraines was lost on us. The head pounding was the hardest to explain, and went ignored because my resting BP was normal range. It’s so relieving to hear someone else experienced it. I’m not alone 😢 ECG, EKG, eCat monitor, Labetalol, every eye test possible, MRI, MRA, blood tests, and nothing. The god-sent angel of a Neurologist knew what it was the moment he walked into the room when I was referred. Autoimmune disorders run in my family. It’s interesting to learn all of this. THANK YOU

Tinnitus appeared in 2014, alopecia areata in 2014 too, IBS in 2017 and vulvodynia in 2018. Since 2-3 years I have vertigo when standing. Three months ago after a virus I have POTS symptoms and my HR goes up to 120 when standing. I have fasciculations. Even my resting HR is higher then before (85-90 bpm when seated in the morning). At the end of this month I will have my Tilt Table Test done. :( . Thank you so much for this HUGE explanation!

I was diagnosed with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome in August of 2023, but I seriously believe I have undiagnosed POTS along with Sjögren’s being that I've either almost passed out or completely passed out several times this past year. Each time it happened I was standing up only a few minutes, and the area I was standing in whether it was inside a building or outside each was of a comfortable tempature and all I was doing was standing for a few minutes. My doctor's keep referring me to a cardiologist but by my own research I know its POTS. I feel like no one is really listening to me but I know something is wrong because two years ago I could stand up for several hours and be fine, but all of a sudden a year ago I started fainting, or feeling weak, dizzy and nauseous with just standing. I feel defeated, my family label me at lazy but the only time I don't feel sick is when I'm sitting or laying down. It sucks when you know something is off with your body but no one is LISTENING. And its at the point where its getting dangerous, the last time it happened I was at work standing while working and I had to be rushed to the hospital, where I was told I had a mild concussion, apparently when I fainted I hit the back of my head.

Me too. All my symptoms including severe “MCAS” like anaphylactic reactions to foods that I was fine with only the day before…started 5mins after the first and only jab. Starting with pounding heart heat flush and left side paralysis. intermittent paralysis after certain foods or stress to the body of any kind continued, intermittent drooling and crazy dry mouth, breathing pattern completely turned to manual, had to concentrate on breathing or just suffocate and pass out. Racing heart panic attacks 8hrs at a time waking up in the middle of the night with adrenaline and heart at 200bpm, 200”doctors” and it “must be anxiety” 😂… one year housebound while living overseas unable to work too sick to get on a train let alone a plane. Embassy staff laughing at me not saying you’re crazy but the pandemic was just a stressful time for everyone… now go get your second shot! I didn’t have any signs of autoimmunity before the shot, so it would have been ideal for someone to stick me in a lab and study what the exact mechanism was to educate and help all the people suffering now and those who WILL suffer in the future and when it’s these uneducated lazy ass doctors’ kids or grandkids they’re gonna be PISSED they didn’t take me up on my offer to be thrown in a lab to get the hell out in front of this before it became THEIR life and their problem. I still only eat 5foods preparing every meal everyday while working 3jobs to try to pay back debt. The only reason I can walk or work is due to finding an acupuncturist who really understands the root cause. I don’t know how it works but it does!! Still many substances throw me into POTS and anaphylaxis that I never had before even perfume candles grass …but if I am careful to avoid potential triggers I can function and am truly grateful.

My heart is always all over the place. I get moments of random panicking and anxiety/adrenaline. They just put me on prozac to help the panicking moments and I can hardly eat anything from it. I just want to go back to normal and feel ok.

Me too :(

[@MikeBush-zy6gh]

You have just told the story of my life for the last three years. Dr after Dr and a trip to Mayo and an outside cardiologist. Last visit to the cartiologist and a heart monitor. I knew I was having Tachycardia. The Dr confirmed that and told me something in my body is causing it and he did not know what was causing it. Sent me home with no diagnosis and no medicine. The next week my heart was doing something different. It was a different feeling. Got my cardia mobile out and I was in AFib. I couple days later passed out in the middle of the night in the kitchen. Drs are not willing to help people that have been Vaccine injured. I have given up on doctors.

I have Long Covid…had Covid 4 x in 16 months. 1st one had pneumonia and was the worst one. All were bad though. Developed POTS symptoms after the first one, only to be brushed off like I was exaggerating or it was anxiety. Last Covid was Dec 2022 and April 2023 ended up in the hospital for 5 days diagnosed with Dysautonomia and still waiting for neurologist appointment next month. Had another episode last week and hospitalized for 3 days. It’s soooooo frustrating!!!!

I know POTS is often an ottoman a man thing, but it’s also related to Ehlers Danlos syndrome. I have POTS and EDS. I’m in Tucson AZ. I was diagnosed with POTS at like 25 and mostly it didn’t affect me too bad until I crashed into menopause at 37 HRT has helped but now in PT to help get back baseline

I have all them but I’m just learning stuff I was just diagnosed with vertigo and asked if it was related to pits ? No answers didn’t know

[@wendylpa]

POTS & hEDS for me. Ignored/dismissed by conventional medicine then finally diagnosed at age 45, after 3+ decades of suffering. Anyone else flattened for days by any form of moderate or intense exercise? If I do anything more than a short walk or a 10 min bike ride, I’m bedridden with a flare that includes full brain fog/shutdown. Weight toning completely out of the question (which is tough since we need to tone muscles for bone health). Please tell me I’m not alone on this front!

[@FoxRogers]

I have POTS as do my kids. My 17 year old son has been terribly suffering with debilitating exhaustion since puberty. We have been to SO many specialists. No one put the POTS to the exhaustion. I have been pushing 2 liters of water and Electrolyte pills for a few days, HUGE difference with just that. I have made a huge dent in my autoimmune with figuring out trigger foods, grains, legumes, sugar (including maple or honey), nightshade, lactose, eggs, onions, etc, and healing my gut and eating to keep my blood sugar balanced.

[@ndpioneers]

I had an accident with TMI at almost 12 years old. I had a fractured skull. As I got better, I had POTS. Many girls at that age have POTS from hormonal issues so they told me I'd outgrow it. I never did. I'm 50 now and I was trying to work outside in the heat the other day and my heart rate was 120 and I blacked out every time I bent over to pick something up. It has done major damage to my body and nerves through the years. But I don't know if it is from the head injury or from the mitochondrial disease they found in 2015 that I was born with. I have not eaten sugar since I was 14 yrs old because of the mito even though I didn't know what it was. They tried to get me to take beta blockers. Made me worse. Nothing has worked. Can't wear compression. I sleep with my bed tilted. I eat more salt. Drink a gallon of water. Balance protein, carbs, fats etc. I was diagnosed with EDS, Autonomic Neuropathy with POTS. I know I have autoimmune issues as well. I also have sensitivities to fragrances, foods, etc and very high histamine levels.

@ndpioneers That also sounds a lot like MCAS.

[@DrMaggieYu]

@@MissKiki808 Hi there! Are you dealing with MCAS now?

[@ndpioneers]

@MissKiki808 yes I have EDS and MCAS. It was severe before I figured it out. It's much better now but only because I can avoid triggers. I've recently made some changes that I'm hoping will make a difference to take me to another level of recovery. I have more energy and I'm tolerating the sun a little better. But when a storm cloud goes over I'm sick and in so much pain. My spinal cord feels like fire ants and my skin feels like a sunburn. My pots symptoms get bad and my blood vessels burn all over. I can't take benadryl anymore but it used to help. Now I just endure til it passes.
