I'm not trying to be disrespectful but as I was saying I have to have neck surgery and the doctors, a doctorioral site and a gentleman that was giving a lecture on it said that if there is a shift in the neck that it can lead to they symptoms I'm having as well and possibly go away when I have the procedure done. I do have the problems of being cold and hot but the more I exercise the better I feel. So, not always does the exercise intolerance coming to play. There are time though I can't get enough sleep and sleep for days but that also goes back to the thyroid disorder I have. So, again please Sir can you do more research on this and redo you podcast or question and answer on this? I listened to you finely and not everything you are saying line up for everyone
Sir, I may not be as educated as you are bit I suffer from POTS myself and a lot of what you are saying don't work for myself and I also don't agree with. For me the lower my blood pressure is the better I feel as well as the higher my heart rate is I feel butter but at the Sametime I do have the cloudiness and my adhd medicine helps me. I also can't up my salt intake like you are saying to do because my BODY WILL NOT release the fluids properly and I have to take a direct. But I also have problems with my thyroid and other underlining health problems. And, I'm not always effected by it sometimes I'm okay and bam out of no where I feel yucky again and it last for awhile, than goes away again or last along time. Some of what you are saying I agree with but there's a lot that's being said here that don't help and makes things worse for me. I've been diagnosed with POTS for over 2 years now and co.e to find out it's been longer than that and wasn't realized. When what you are saying is a normal blood pressure is high for me and I'm sick really bad sick. I feel like I'm in a dream type state or a cartoon like state and nothing makes sense to me. Especially when I'm on heart medicine. So, please can you take a look at all the different underlying health conditions that other doctors say goes hand n hand with this syndrome?
Is there a electronic version of this form? I have difficulty holding a pen to write but can use voice recognition if form is online? Ps I know PIP for is online I am asking about review form.
Wow you are an amazing Dr , I am a 3rd generation within my family, with fibromyalgia, hypermobility, gastrointestinal and ibs issues, we are constantly anemic and we are getting worse especially my mum
The GPs here only deal with diagnoses they punch up in a computer specific to their iuhealth group think AND NO MORE..sad and frustrating. They don'tclike patients who give up on the 15 min 'appointment' with the intern aged doctor goes to ask the professor, essentially, about correct diagnoses for a patient he hasn't even seen...older people just suffer because they have been taught to believe the doctor without question and to accept ' you are just getting old so...' as a result, when I do my research and call them for additional appts armed with data...it is exhausting...and of all things after a couple of years my back pain may have tirned out to be a ureter infection somehow unseen.
Hello, PoTS UK has some useful advice about how the condition is diagnosed: www.potsuk.org/about-pots/diagnosis/, which would identify if it is PoTS or something else.
I am diabetic, they blamed diabetes. It may be related but I quit drinking after years when it first happened because I always feel drunk. It may be related to malnutrition due to a defective gut biome. My doctors have barred me for questioning their resolve
It was only after LAD stenting did my heart beat strong enough to feel the pulse in my head did I realize what was happening. As I stand, my heartrate skyrockets and my blood pressure plummets
Im a 73 year old woman. I got covid for the 3rd time in march. Sence than i have been suffering fron all the systomes you talked about. It has taken all my energy to type this. What is going on. I was VERY active 3 months ago i could out work any man. Now im weak as a kitten.
Thank you for a most informative talk! In the 15+ years that I’ve had POTS, I’ve never heard any of this, or had any help from my GPs. Self help and Dr Google have been my only remedy. Some of the advice given is in direct opposition to that given for managing my heart failure and damaged mitral valve, e.g. use of diuretics/gliflozins. I think I’ll just have to carry on putting up with the POTS 🙃
Unfortunate that the S.African lady specifically excluded the idea of the research being relevant to vaccine injury. It there are micro lots from whatever source it clearly could be. I don’t believe she could believe that but she is just avoiding ultravaxxer censorship.
I hate the conforming answers about vaccination. Shows the insidious impact of censorship on these poor researchers. The lie is avoiding previous infection as a source of immunity. The question should be are there antibodies? (from whatever source). Not pretending that vaccines are the only source of immunity.
I nearly cried listening to this. I was referred by my GI doctor and my PCP (GP) to a cardiologist yesterday for my postural heart rate changes. Im so lucky to have a GI doctor who was so open to help me look at my broader symptoms alongside my GI issues and help me search for that broader answer outside the realm of only the Gastrointestinal tract. I am so grateful, but at the same time the reality is beginning to set in. I am realizing all of the doubts Ive had in my symptoms that have frustrated me ("what if I'm making it up, what if everyone feels this way and I just need to get over it, what if it's "not bad enough" to really be a problem in the eyes of my doctor?") have in truth been the EASIER thing to believe than the fact I have symptoms that will never go away, that will get worse as I age, that have more than halved my ability to work, that will continue to take away my ability to care for myself. I know that I am being more proactive than my family before me with the same symptoms, so maybe I can make it better. But Ive seen what this has done to them - being unable to leave the bed for days on end due to the fatugue and unexplained sense of illness. Every day I get closer to them, and good days remind me It will be even harder the next time a bad day comes around. I am sooo venting in this comment section right now, but I thank Dr Gupta and this channel for such a thorough overview of POTS and comorbiditues, especially the MCA and Hypermobility overlaps. This information can save us. Thank you.

I have just come across this video because I have just applied for independence payments pip and I have my health assessment phone call and I'm feeling anxious and overwhelmed about the call your video is very helpful thank you
I recently had a review and got a text saying your review is complete and will have a decision Letter within 2 weeks does this mean they have made a decision
I believe so. The letter you'll receive will state what your outcome is. I truly hope you get what you deserve. If you feel it's not a fair decision then be sure to challenge it. I hope you have the support you need (If it comes to that). But I do hope that's something which you don't have to go through and you're happy with the decision. All the best.👍💯🌟💚
@@florancebella4366. Phone their number and ask them if there is any update on your appeal. If you can't make the call then ask someone in your network of support to call them for you! In the meantime, try not to worry too much! All the best 👍
What a wonderful doctor the world would be a better place with more Dr Gupta I’ve had rapid heart rates I’ve got CFS and fibromyalgia My son is experiencing the same he’s been checked and heart is ok but they don’t know why he’s generally not well daily
MYCOTOXINS READ ON RU-vid ABOUT MYCOTOXINS. I don’t have these symptoms any longer. I sent a urine test to RealTime Labs and my five categories of mycotoxins were all high. I’m fairly sure that ALL my symptoms are caused by the toxin created by mold in the context of moldy homes. Industry has added fungicides since 1970. Open your mind. You don’t need a cardiologist. You need treatment for mycotoxins. A biotoxin.
I THOUGHT A REVIEW WAS TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY CHANGES NOT BASICALLY FILL IT OUT LIKE YOUR FULL FORM . WHAT IF THERES NO CHANGES TO CONDITIONS OR ACTIONS ?.
The review from is not as complicated as the original claim form when you first applied. You should be okay, but do try to send letters from your doctor explaining your current situation with your review form. Also, any other documents you have as evidence explaining your situation like from therapists of support workers. All the best 👍
this is no longer correct the forms have changed there is no break down per question all it says now is preparing food you need prompting then eating/drinking you need prompting thats it,they also make it clear your payments will continue until a decision is made
I wish my daughter could find a doctor like you in San Diego. They all want you to fit in their box for their specialty. It has taken a year to even get an appointment. Most doctors just don't care or won't take the time it takes. The patients aren't able to fit into a 15 minute appointment.
I am 79 years old, have had ME/CFS for 50+ years, but acquired POTS (including all those other dysfunctions on the list) a couple years ago when my PCP put me on a diuretic for B/P. He then wanted me on a reconditioning exercise program. I refused, and had a blood test done through another doctor: my electrolytes were severely depleted. Discontinuing the B/P meds and concentrating on intense restoration of electrolytes and other depleted nutrients has helped reduce the POTS heart rate, eliminate IBS, improve sleep.
If you are on a enhanced rate for both and you nothing has changed on review.Can you challenge them for reducing or declining ? like they believed you three years ago but not know why if nothing has changed.
Thank you ~ it's not a disease, it's a condition. I can't take those meds because I have low bp and ischaemic heart disease. I have Dysautonomia (worse than ever) following a Covid infection. There are SO many of us.
I didn’t get POTS Til I was 52 had to diagnose myself til I went to Cleveland Clinic and was finally diagnosed by a Cardiologist there, three Cardiologist in California said it was panic attacks 🤷♀️
