I had a coffee. Took my meds. About an hour later, my heart rate is stuck at 130 bpm. It will not calm down. If I stand or walk, it’s up higher. Laying down is the only thing that lowers it and that’s right around 120.

Increased heart rate hurts. #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome sucks.

I don’t know if I somehow may have mixed up my modafinil and took more than I should have, or if I am so stressed out and #anxious about talking with HR about extraneous family circumstances where I need to take 4-6 weeks of unpaid leave that it’s causing my heart rate to go nuts and stay there. (And I just found out it might need to be longer. 😣 I don’t qualify for FLMA or have leave to burn. )

I did call my dr to see what they say for the symptoms and recommendation to help.

😑 After my heart rate has been there for an hour with continuous chest pain, my manager and I agreed I should go home.

My dr’s assistance say if it is uncomfortable or worrisome to go to urgent care. Urgent care along with having a 2 hour wait, says the dr will advise to go to the ER.

I say screw it. I go home and take an extra
Prazosin (#PTSD ) and just lay down. After 2 hours, my heart rate is now at 116bpm. It’s going to be a long day since modafinil has a 15hr half life and that’s how long the can last with the heart rate. 😠

I feel so stupid. I don’t think I’ve ever done this. I’m a very visual person and normally can recognize my meds just by looking at them. >.>
