Just wanted to add that in the beginning my dizziness was so bad I felt like I was constantly moving and I had to reposition my head very slowly so I didn’t feel sick. I also couldn’t drive because of it. Now I only get slightly dizzy every so often and I’m back to driving. So if you have these symptoms don’t despair things can improve.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

I found when dizziness was bad it seemed to happen after I'd been leaning over basin washing my hair or water had got into ear canal. I believe the crystals in the tubes shift to somewhere where they shouldn't be. You can do an exercise to shift them back

I was diagnosed with POTS by my doctor. My feet turn dark purple upon standing and my blood pressure goes low and heart rate goes high. I get short of breath standing more than 10 minutes and it’s very difficult to keep standing. Standing more than 10-15 minutes, I’m so exhausted I have to sit. The doctor said the reason I get so tired when standing is because the drop in blood pressure results in low oxygen going to the brain. Should I just ignore these very real physiological changes that can be measured?

Hi, thank you for this and all the other wonderful and supportive videos! I was diagnosed with POTS and Orthostatic Intolerance years ago at the Cleveland Clinic. A well meaning cardiologists put me on so many medications. For me those medicines did not work, actually they made me feel even worst. It was a mind body approach that ended my POTS and OI symptoms completely. After doing DNRS for a while both my heart rate and blood pressure normalized. My heart rate used to go up 70 beats per minute when I would stand! Now its well within the normal range! My blood pressure does not drop any longer either from standing! I however must be honest in that I am not completely recovered from other symptoms, although I am on my way. POTS was one of many other diagnosis I had received. The most prevalent symptom still with me is fatigue but it is improving and I have faith I will make a complete recovery. I am so grateful I recently bumped into TMS information. Dans videos have been instrumental in pointing out subtle changes in my approach that I believe will make a huge impact. I have not been fully well for 13 years, although I have improved and as I said and I am so happy not to qualify as having POTS or OI any longer! I think the reason it has taken me so long to recover from other TMS symptoms is simply because I did not have the right information or did not have a clear understanding of the information. As a result for so long I was trying too hard and in such a desperate, fighting like approach to fix myself not only with DNRS but with a million extra strategies. Thanks to people like Dan I now know I am not broken and have recently started reengaging in life. I am done fixing myself and have made the choice to start living. I am so excited to be fully well soon and will post as it unfolds. So to recap my belief from experience is that yes POTS is TMS and recovery is possible using a mind body approach. I did it so can you. Best to all on this journey.

This WAS me after my surgery...it was the last part that created my perfect storm. My bucket was full. From all the stresses throughout my life they all added up and out of the blue it hit me like a tonn of bricks. I had ptsd and pots tachycardia and many many other symptoms. Weird symptoms that you might think are not possible..i had them. I will post a list of all my issues I had soon. You would be surprised how much effects us mentally and physically..not just pain. The good news is...you can recover. I had 3 safe foods that I could eat..my limbic system kicked out all other foods...98 percent were now a threat within a day. Like a switch got turned on and my brains security system decided that nobody was getting in..and everyone is a threat. Anything to keep me alive and ask questions later. 1 year later and I'm almost recovered. Just trust the process and keep going. It's hard work..but the brain has no choice but to change.

I had the heart palpitation issue a while back. Turned out to be anxiety manifesting itself via the heart. But, the anxiety itself was, in my opinion, a TMS symptom.

[@PainFreeYou]

Very common.

[@angel.heart007]

I can’t tell you the amount of ER visits I’ve had starting with the palps is what I call them! Everything you mentioned is exactly what’s happened to me over and over. I’ve had EKG’s and tests in the ER every single time! Everything always comes back normal. I’ve been given meds and sent home to just find myself thinking there’s got to be something wrong with my heart! This health anxiety still drives me nuts and I always feel like I’m going to die as I feel my heart rate skyrocketing and even when my heart rate comes down. I was in the ER 2 weeks ago and my machine kept beeping but I knew I wanted to pass out because I hadn’t had food or water for over 12 hrs yet I kept thinking it was something else! I could kick my own butt for not remaining calm. Thank you for telling me all of this. I really needed this advice!

Doctors are really good at finding bad stuff. If they are unconcerned and send you home, trust their assessment. Something else is going on, but it's not anything life threatening. TMS / Perceived Danger symptoms explain so much.

Hi Dan. From watching your videos I guess the key is that your continuously even in severe pain that you reasure yourself that the sensations and pain arnt dangerous eg( I AM SAFE) and in turn the as this continues that your brain will eventually not even notice these as danger signals and in turn you wont feel as much pain / sensations ? And also deal with the emotions at the same time ,I'm only into this tms journey 2 weeks now but been in pain/ sensations for 2.5 years and just read dr sarno's book and been watching dr shubinar and others as well as nichole Sachs, Am I correct in this ?

Yes, feel your emotions, relax your body, breathe, don't take your thinking so seriously, don't freak out about symptoms, calmly reassure yourself, shift focus to living, not fixing pain.

Dan, I have a question. For those of us who have made recoveries using the TMS/PDP approach. How is this viewed and explained by mainstream medicine? Given all of us were diagnosed with supposed serious structural problems how in their eyes are we now better all of a sudden after years of symptoms?

[@PainFreeYou]

I really don't know how they view our recoveries. I'm sure there are a wide variety of responses. Some may respond with curiosity, but then continue practicing medicine the way they always have. Others may disregard it as a fluke and go on with their old way of practicing medicine. And likely very few will begin to drop hints to future patients to check out this mindbody world.

Does anyone have experience with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation being TMS? I have occasional irregular heartbeat episodes at night, bought an EKG for my phone and confirmed afib.

If the doctor is unconcerned, I wouldn't be either. I would also not recommend you use that EKG often. That will just cause you to become hyper-vigilant on every beat of your heart. That may increase your fear instead of calming it down.

Experiment. Feeling our emotions IS a part of getting well and teaching the brain that emotions are safe. Why not both?

[@Jl-vf1zf]

It's usually recommended to have high salt and fluid intake with POTS as well as excercise. This would all be sending the wrong message to the brain though correct?

[@PainFreeYou]

It depends on your view of what's causing POTS. If you believe it's a lack of salt and not enough exercise, then those may be beneficial. I believe POTS is caused by a brain perceiving danger - in high vigilance. Perceived Danger Pain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp-4Z354dttonMk

I agree with most of this. But I do want to point out that POTS involves a situation where blood pools in the lower part of your body and doesn’t get pumped properly to your brain. This doesn’t simply produce a momentary sense of dizziness. When your brain isn’t getting enough blood and oxygen, it’s impossible to function normally. I don’t understand how ignoring that is going to solve anything. I’m 100% open to feedback because I desperately want to believe POTS can be healed with Dan’s advice.

[@PainFreeYou]

I believe that POTS is a stress / fear / perceived danger issue. People eliminate POTS symptoms with a mindbody approach. "Ignoring symptoms" is not the solution. Teaching the brain there is no danger standing up is the solution. What evidence do you have that your symptoms are caused by the blood pooling in your lower extremities? Can the doctors measure this in an evaluation or test? Here is a POTS success story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZatkJV6m5KpjbM

[@IndialienJones]

@@PainFreeYou I assume doctors have come to that conclusion because people’s feet and legs turn purple when the blood pools. Is telling yourself there’s no danger in standing going to make your autonomic nervous system push blood up to your brain? Isn’t ignoring it, essentially not caring about it, the same as telling yourself there’s no danger? For me personally, I know there isn’t danger necessarily. POTS isn’t lethal. But it is fairly debilitating. How does one go about healing that if it is being caused by a pooling of blood in the lower extremities and lack of blood flow, knowing it isn’t life threatening?

[@IndialienJones]

@@PainFreeYou Is it still possible to heal if there is a blood flow issue and blood is pooling? I want to believe I can heal.

[@PainFreeYou]

While pooling of blood may be one of the reasons for the increased heart rate, light headedness and dizziness, there are other things that cause increased heart rate, light headedness and dizziness. Are your feet purple from blood pooling? If not, how do you know you have this vascular problem causing symptoms? Sometimes a medical label is assigned incorrectly based simply on the symptoms themselves. If there is a true and proven vascular problem, then no, my approach will not change that. The key is figuring out if you have a vascular problem or something else is causing these common symptoms. A medical label is not proof of a physical problem. However, in the case of a misdiagnosis of POTS and instead TMS and the brains perception of danger is what is really creating symptoms, that is where my work comes in and can greatly help. My fast start playlist goes deeper into my work. Perhaps give the videos a watch and see how stress and the perception of danger may be involved in your symptoms starting and occurring on a regular basis. DansFastStart.com

[@dirtyharry2534]

@@IndialienJones Hi Indialien. It may appear to be a vascular problem, but I am under the impression you can heal from POTS using a mindbody approach, alluded to by Dan. I have POTS symptoms, triggered by chronic job stress, low carb diet, and cardio exercise. I have not healed yet but at least no longer get lightheaded every time I stand up. Are you familiar with Raelen Agle's channel? She has interviewed people (at least one) with POTS who recovered. I am convinced I will heal once I establish good, close relationships with people I can trust - which is the challenge of my life. TMS is a new subject for me, and I have ordered Dr. Sarno's book.

I would never tell someone POTS, which is an actual neurological disorder grouped with many other dysautonomic conditions (dys meaning dysfunctional, and autonomic meaning the autonomic nervous system, which governs the "stress response" this person mentions) that their POTS was manifestations of some kind of mind-body disconnect and over abundance of adrenale (did not specify which, as the human body has two forms of adrenaline), cortisol etc. I do not even know why I am commenting because this post may be deleted by the video uploader. But I will say these things: POTS is UNCOMMON, not common Long COVID can resemble POTS, affecting about 10% of all cases Not all palpitations is related to anxiety. But also do not go on a wild goose chase trying to find something that is not there And most importantly, if YOU (the reader) ever experience a resting heart rate (not exercising) of 200 BPM that will not go down. Go to the ER. Do not wait for your general doctor.

Nope - no certifications Mav. But 58 years of life experience and 1567 daily videos in a row with incredible feedback from the global community on how my daily discussions are helping people end symptoms, anxieties, depression and get their lives back. I have dozens of success stories on video. The comments are almost universally positive on how my ideas are helping people. I just had a medical doctor write an article for a medical magazine where I was mentioned by name. I do always suggest that people see doctors for anything that feels significant. It's great that you are an "actual therapist" as if the degree makes you more capable. Why are you not publishing videos to help people?

@@PainFreeYou Uploading videos is not psychotherapy, or cognitive-behavioral therapy, or Person-Centered Therapy, or Gestalt Therapy, or psychoanalysis, or Motivational Interviewing, or Psychoeducation, or Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, or Cognitive Therapy, or Exposure Therapy.....see where I am going with this? I do actual therapy. So I hope that answers your question about me not publishing videos. Clients should see their own therapist that is licensed in their respective state or states. I am not suggesting you are profiting off others pain, but I am suggesting that, only in this particular video you are spreading misinformation that is false, a great majority of it actually: As you explain, you suggest that a heart rate of 200BPM (even after seeing a doctor) may be fine because that doctor said so and gave the all clear. That is false, a heart rate of 200BPM sustained is dangerous, potentially can lead to cardiac arrest or death. Anxiety will not cause a sustained 200BPM heart rate. But we may be splitting hairs here. I would probably been more fine if you said tachycardia instead of 200BPM elevated heart rate. Also and most egregiously, you mislabel POTS and jumble it in with Anxiety as you think it is a psychological condition. It is neruological, has nothing to do with anxiety, nor does anxiety bring on its symptoms. A person can stress about their POTS, but that is completely different than what you are telling your audience in this video. One is neurological. Anxiety could be any of the following: normal, mental health disorder, as brought on by a medical condition, idiopathic POTS is as followed: Nerulogic in nature that often gets misdiagnosed for cardiac related. So it is important to see a neurlogist. Anyways, maybe I was to brash in my initial post. But I do think you were defensive in this post. So I thought I would reply. Enjoy your evening.

@@mav3622 I appreciate you correcting my errors for the viewers. Thank you. As for being defensive, natural reaction to having someone calling me unqualified. I'm doing good things in this world. Am I perfect, not at all. But I don't claim to be a doctor or therapist and just share my opinions on what causes what. And TONS of people are benefitting by my thousands of hours of work given to the world for free. Take care Mav.

@@PainFreeYou Hey Dan. I apologize for coming off harsh. I checked a few of your other videos and actually listened to a few of them. You do provide people a great service. So I just wanted to let you know this. Something that is often overlooked that I tell clients is we got to find what works best for you, the individual. And I do see your comments and there are an overwhelming positive replies from those who subscribe to you. Also, posting over 1,500 videos is astonishing and I think people can get something out of what you are doing. I also like how when someone asks for clarification you do respond to them which is great. Also Dr. Sarno work sounds similar to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy about how to shift from symptoms and not let it run our lives. And I see that is a good majority of what you speak on here about. Take care Dan.
