POTS and Panic: The Constant Argument with My Doctors

I just went to a cardiologist for the first time yesterday & he diagnosed me with this based on my symptoms which are very similar to yours!! I think my panic is brought on by the physiological symptoms I’m experiencing so suddenly (nausea, sweating, high heart rate). It’s the fact that it’s happening so suddenly & even though it’s happened a bunch of times, it’s still panic-inducing because it’s not supposed to be normal! I was on one medicine for my familial/genetic hypertension & personally I felt like it lowered my blood pressure too much at 10mg but 5mg wasn’t enough. So this new doctor I saw yesterday prescribed diltiazem for my blood pressure (instead of my amlodipine) & it’s supposed to also lower my heart rate. But that was yesterday so who knows what the future holds! Hopefully it works! I hope you find something to ease your symptoms!!
