How I Got POTS Syndrome....

In this video I tell you how I THINK I got POTS Syndrome, and why you shouldn't care how you got it!

[@JRESHOW]

Anyone get cold feet with pots? Sometimes hands?

[@QuickLink-zs3hy]

Yes bro 😅😢

[@TheLordGojira]

Yes

[@sciencenerd8428]

Yes. I get cold feet but if I touch them they aren't actually cold.

[@theferzuck719]

Is anyone else unable to speak long sentences without running out of breath? It happens to me when I'm standing but also when lying down. It's a symptom I haven't seen anyone else mention, but it bothers me a lot. Ty for the vid, helps a lot

[@jdquintero12]

Sounds like a case of de-conditioning for sure!

[@e.williams13]

Yes... That can happen if your adrenaline is already up. It's like you can't do too much when your adrenaline is already up because it's taking so much of your energy. Even talking takes energy and makes you short of breath

[@dantedevilboy9817]

Last year my heart beat started to go high by just standing up and climbing one floor, also I started to have chest pain because of that I thought something is wrong with my heart so went to a cardiologist, after treadmill test and some blood test the doctor said my heart is fine and he has no idea why it is happening. I googled it and found it's called pots. Yes recently I have started to run out of breath while talking. My heart rate also increases if I change side while sleeping.

[@Tsugimoto1]

I would disagree with the notion that it doesn't matter. It may not matter for changing your mindset, but it certainly matters for treatment! If you have MCAS, you might find anti-histamine diet is helpful. If it's something like EDS, you might benefit from collagen. Any little thing you can do to help alleviate those symptoms is helpful, and may not simply go away from exercise alone.

[@jdquintero12]

That’s exactly the entire point of the video. How you got it doesn’t matter, how you treat it matters. I also don’t think I have ever said working out is the only thing to change it. Diet, lifestyle, supplements, and exercise are the core tenants I use to help people and myself.

[@tommylimit9409]

Love this attitude needed to hear this!

[@jdquintero12]

LET’S GO!! Get to workn

[@michaelb6510]

I know I could probably watch more of your videos and get an answer but... I was wondering, whenever you get into like the 150's-170's heart rate, after a workout do you sometimes feel like it takes a little longer than usual for you hr to come down? Shit gives me mad anxiety then a panic an shoot my hr up.

[@in2caffeine]

Great positive video! Thank you!

[@jdquintero12]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@_Delta_P_]

I think I got it by damaging my neck and damaging the vagus nerve. I was an all conference athlete. Now I can barely work out. It’s annoying

[@jdquintero12]

Brother! Hop into our program and positive POTs community! Link is in my description of more recent videos and lives!

[@xGlobs]

i started having pots symptoms after 1st Pfizer vaccine

[@RyanLongArt]

You're not the only one.

[@polyforge3d]

For me it started right after I got covid and I am not vaccinated. So perhaps it has something to do with the virus itself or autoimmune reaction to it.

[@e.williams13]

I want to know how I got pots so that way I can try not to get it again if it's preventable..

[@jdquintero12]

There are many things in life you can't prevent. Control what you can control, don't worry about the rest.

[@jaypineau768]

Holy shit man ~ this is what people need to hear, seriously. How many times do you (I) get negative about this, walk around a corner and someone is wheeling themselves in a wheelchair with a smile.. or something much worse than you. You have to work everyday towards getting better not dwelling on how you got it. It happened. Move on

[@jdquintero12]

This 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@joan2356]

Some People do die from POTS, because their hearts stop when the vagal nerve over reacts and stops the heart. It concerns me that you are minimizing this. "Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that can cause an abnormal heart rate response when someone stands up. This can lead to a rapid increase in heart rate, which can trigger a drop in blood pressure that can cause fainting. The brain's response to a fast heart rate can also cause the vagal nerve to slow or stop the heart."

[@jdquintero12]

@@joan2356 this is a prime example of health anxiety and looking for a reason to be concerned. There is zero data showing people die directly from POTs. A Google search will provide you with that answer. “No, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is not usually life-threatening, and there have been no reported deaths directly caused by the disorder.” Respectfully, please do not come on my page and fear monger based on your own anxieties. We operate off of positivity and hope here. Not false facts and rabbit holes that don’t benefit anyone. I say this with love in hopes that you will find peace in this and make progress.

[@joan2356]

@@jdquintero12 I believe you are operating on old information. You see, with current technology like the Boston Scientific Loop Recorder they are able to see that the heart does on some actually stop, and this illness can be life threatening. For these individuals they install a pacemaker. I think it is dangerous for you to state that no one dies from this, especially since you are not a doctor. If you would like to learn more about this you can meet with a Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist to learn more. I am not a troll, I am just responding to your blanket statement that I found incorrect. I enjoyed your video and appreciate what you share. No need to respond, I do not need to be right. I am confident that I am under good medical care and found wearing the loop recorder to be extremely helpful.... it saved my life. Technology is amazing these days.

[@jhonlev9104]

Why does it cause chest pain sometimes

[@jdquintero12]

Symptoms manifest differently for everyone!

[@vocalsbymohsin]

Does you feel your heart is rushing even just climbing 20 steps stairs?

[@kahen100]

I get that.

[@vocalsbymohsin]

@@kahen100 do u hv the same?

[@kahen100]

@@vocalsbymohsin Yes. My HR climbs high and I get out of breath. I also get dizziness. I usually need to lay down to calm my cardiovascular system and become normal again. Sometimes it just stays that way for a significant period of time.

[@e.williams13]

​@@kahen100when it stays like that for too long I take half of my beta blocker and sometimes ativan

[@thevixum752]

Did they take your license? What do you do when you pass out or your vision goes black in public?

[@jdquintero12]

Nope! I’ve never passed out. If I start blacking out, I take a second to chill, flex my abs a couple of times to push blood from core to extremities, then make sure to hydrate

[@melemel]

How bad are your symptoms while doing these workouts?

[@jdquintero12]

Not bad anymore. This has been a long journey for me.

[@tompilling4154]

B1 deficiency

[@jdquintero12]

Possibly

[@tylertickle8784]

I have this

[@vocalsbymohsin]

When i get out of my bed and i am going to the door to check who rang the door bell, do you feel it too? Anyone here ?

[@e.williams13]

What do you mean do you feel it? The doorbell ringing? I'm sensitive to noise if that's what you're asking

[@vocalsbymohsin]

Justin am prettymuch moved with the word that just fuck it off. But how to reduce the anxiety when everytime i have to get out of my bed when day starts and also going to university and everytime playing and in classrooms, it happens so how to deal with it?

[@jdquintero12]

I'll be going live on KZbin in 2 hours. Tune in and ask questions so maybe I can be of help please!

[@vocalsbymohsin]

@@jdquintero12 just wokeup. Am sorry.

[@vocalsbymohsin]

Its very difficult phase.

[@youness8288]

Are you sure you have it

[@jdquintero12]

Diagnosed

[@michaelb6510]

What kind of question is that?

[@PR4SAN]

⁠@@jdquintero12 okay can you please share a video or short where you use a finger pulse oximeter and show us what's your HR lying down and then standing from the lying down position for 10 minutes.

[@jdquintero12]

What exactly would this do?

[@admtr7992]

⁠@@jdquintero12😂 don't care about those people omg they unbelievable They sit at home all the time and say there is no hope of improvement. You have to work, not just sit

[@lorishantler8399]

So who diagnosed you with pots ? Try having heds with its many intertwining issues like pots my pots is part of my heds diagnosis and also caused by cervical instabilities the list of unfixables goes on and on some people are born broken don't insult and gaslight people who are trying every day to be better ..BTW you did alot of whining about all your "difficult " training and past drug use if you're trying to say that's how you had pots ..that's on you

[@jdquintero12]

Did you even watch the video?

[@juless2694]

I have it too👎

[@rebeccaslater1398]

Covid vaccines

[@RyanLongArt]

They're not vaccines. Vaccines confer immunity. But yes, they cause cardiovascular and immunological diseases. Anyone still pretending they don't is a callous fool.

[@jdquintero12]

I got it far before the cough

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

no. you do need to know where it came from...lol...

[@jdquintero12]

Really, why?

[@jdquintero12]

And how do you suppose someone would go about finding that answer?

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

Well when you go to a doctor and you're looking for answers or treatment typically you try to create a timeline where the doctor can trace the origin of your illness. Does that make sense for most people? I would say so unless you're naturally more inclined to seek other types of therapy and treatments other than a medical doctor.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

I like multi-discipline medicine. To create health and wellness.

[@jdquintero12]

So even the premise of your first answer sides with my answer. There is zero evidence to suggest that the course of treatment is dependent on the cause, if it is indeed POTs and not “POTs like” symptoms due to something else such as hormone dysfunctions etc.
