My Potsy Life

So far (considering I was only diagnosed mid july) I am not on medication for POTS.

I have been told not to consume caffeine, wear the tight sock thingys and use a stress ball when I start to feel faint.

This makes my life a bit difficult.

I don't remember much from that consultation when I was told I have POTS but the doctor didn't explain what POTS is and how to control it. He wants to try the non-medicated route before putting me on medications.

I looked it up and read A LOT of things. I know that I have to try not to do too much otherwise my heart rate will rise. I'm having to be careful with everything I do... (and don't do).

At the moment, that's all I can do. Even doing that... it still happens.

I think, no I know, I want to be on the medications so that I won't have to be as careful as I am having to be now.

Meds or no meds?

*huggle* for everyone
