View allI've noticed that when I'm at rest, my pulse is usually around 65, but when I stand up, it shoots up to around 90-95 for a few seconds before settling back to around 75-80. Could this be a sign of POTS? I'm a bit concerned and curious about what's happening in my body.
Based on your description of a significant increase in heart rate upon standing, it is possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). To help manage the symptoms of POTS, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and engaging in regular exercise. Medications such as Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may also be prescribed by your doctor to help regulate your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?
It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.
