Definitely POTS. Before beta-blockers, my resting heart rate was 120-140 and would go over 200 at times. After, my resting HR is 60-90 and never goes above 130

The second I wake up or get moving in the morning my heart rate skyrockets to 130-150. I also wake up feeling like I can’t breathe and heart is racing. I am not on medication but have been diagnosed with POTS
I do that too! It was one of my GP’s indicators that maybe I wasn’t having anxiety attacks since I was literally asleep right before. I notice it most when I’m super exhausted before I go to sleep.

No, it’s not a dumb question. When my blood pools my toes turn red or purple and my feet feel kinda painful and tingly. Sometimes it happens to my hands too
mine does as well!
My blood starts pooling as soon as I wake up
@NewYork how do you tell if your blood is pooling?? (Sorry if that’s a dumb question)
idk about when i wake up but sometimes when im sleeping i will wake up because of how hard and slow or fast my heart is beating
Mind does!
