It's not you... it's your POTS

Today my doctor broke up with me ... that's right MY FREAKING DOCTOR! The health professional following my chronic illness "dumped me" and here's that story... After a few weeks of a bad flare up I finally got an appointment to see my cardiologist, this cardiologist is fairly new to me but at previous appointments he expressed understanding and knowledge of POTS. My appointment today took no more than 10min the doctor didn't look at the EKG, did not take my general vital signs, didn't ask me how im doing (the man was on a mission to dump me 😂) . He only took my heart rate which rose drastically when I went from standing up to sitting down. After this he looked surprised and kind of upset, it was very confusing. He then proceeded to say no future treatment or follow up and stated that he was a novice at MY TYPE OF POTS and I need to go be seen at a center. HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SAID IT'S NOT YOU.... IT'S YOUR POTS. #LivingWithPOTS #POTSLife #Dysautonomia #ChronicIllnessEDS #ChronicPain #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #ChronicMigraines #goingthroughit
