Heart disease

I’m on Emgality now (after a LONG fight with insurance)— and it helps a lot, up until about five days before the shot is due. Then I get a 5-day long migraine 😅 … when it hits, I use Hylands Migraine Relief tablets and ice packs. Plus I always keep sunglasses on hand because light HURTS. Annnd noise cancelling headphones. It’s a multipronged approach!! I used to rely heavily on Excedrin Migraine pills but they started triggering my c**ardiac issues **so I had to stop. :/

Struggling with Trulicity Injections - Need Advice

Based on the context provided, a satisfactory result from a 24hr ECG despite a high heart rate after standing could mean that there were no **cardiac events** causing the high heart rate. It's possible to have a high heart rate due to POTS but not have it be a concern from a cardiac standpoint. However, this does not mean you don't have POTS. It's recommended to discuss these results further with your doctor or a cardiologist for a more accurate understanding.

give the betablocker a try. Since you are nervous, ask your doc to start med dosage low and slowly increase. I'm on metoprolol. I've heard many in our group say the same. Any medication affects people differently. My husband has heart issues and 25mg for him has quite an impact. I dont have **heart issues** and i take 150mg a day. For 4 years my heart rate still topped 200bpm (when standing), but it did stop my intense dysautonomia episides which led to ER intervention. Nothings perfect, but positive success is always welcome.

Dealing with Emotions After Heart Condition Diagnosis

Keep in mind, when a cardiologist says "nothing to concerned with", it does NOT mean that you dont have POTS. It means its not a **cardiac event** thats causing the high heart rate. It's important to us, but not concerning to them. Because theres really not specific, recognized treatment for POTS few cardiologists will go there. Even my latter cardiologist, told me in my first year seeing him that even though he could order a TTT, he recommended not doing so "because there really isnt any treatment for POTS". So, I skipped because why spend $6500 for something without treatment. 2nd year, after seeing all my 200bpm loop recorder recordings, he mow suggested it. Now he admitted that "there are some medicines they could try that might work".
