So I saw my cardiologist this morning for my follow up after having my tilt table test done on Friday. I'm not sure how I feel about the appointment. She said my test results weren't very conclusive. She still thinks I might have POTS but she's not giving me a diagnosis of POTS at this time.
She wants me to drink 2-3 liters of water a day, increase sodium, and begin exercising slowly to begin "reconditioning" my body. Start with simple cardio 6 days a week. Just walking five minutes. Then once I can handle that, bump it to ten minutes, and so on until I hit thirty minutes six days a week. Then start adding in strength training. I will go back to see her December 29th. If by then I don't have an improvement we'll discuss medication.
Is it weird that I’m a little disappointed? #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #LivingWithPOTS #StillNoDiagnosis #ijustwanttofeelbetter
