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 really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I'm dealing with blood pressure around 15090 and my heart rate seems higher than normal, sometimes going to 100. Two doctors suggested I start on Nebi 2.5mg twice daily, and while it made me feel really tired at first, that went away after two weeks. It's been five months on this medication now, but I'm noticing that my consciousness feels a bit off. I can't work or focus like I used to. What should I do about this?
