Orthostatic vitals are taught throughout medical training as a quick and easy way to assess patient volume status objectively. We also frequently see these documented in MCHD charts. Is there any evidence that orthostatics help our clinical decision-making? Has anyone ever evaluated their use in EMS? Could standing a patient to check their heart rate actually be harmful?

In this episode we discuss the exertion types and what uses energy, we recap on what pacing is and why it is important when you live with a chronic condition such as ME and long covid. Robin discusses the principles of pacing and the varying forms of pacing, we discuss listening to your body and the challenges of this with PEM/PESE. Robin explains how monitoring your HR/HRV is important, what is available to monitor this data and how to understand what level to set your alerts at to remain within the anaerobic threshold. We discuss the lactate threshold and Robin explains the zones of this threshold and how important it is to remain within the lactate threshold, especially those with PEM. Robin advises how the lactate threshold can be tested at home, and clinical testing. We additionally discuss how those with Orthostatic intolerance, PoTs can find it challenging to maintain their heart rate within their threshold due to heart rate spikes. Robin gives some great advice on how to support this and lots of other amazing information and advice throughout this podcast, so grab a cuppa and have a listen.

For patients with venous manifestations, he pursues treatment with stents or embolization, taking a proactive approach to targeting any abnormal vasculature that he identifies. Additionally, the podcast delves into the physiological basis of POTS and related disorders, which mainly stems from blood pooling in the lower body, leading to sympathetic overactivation.

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) occurs when the body has an inadequate response to postural changes and, as a result, is unable to maintain a steady blood pressure when moving from a lying to standing position. It is defined as a decrease in systolic or diastolic blood pressure that occurs within three minutes of moving from a sitting or supine position to a standing position. The parameter for OH is a decrease of 20 mmHg systolic or a decrease of 10 mmHg diastolic. In this episode you'll learn: * The physiology of orthostatic hypotension * The key difference between acute and chronic OH * How neurogenic OH differs from non-neurogenic OH * Conditions that exacerbate OH * Why drug-induced OH occurs * Medical conditions that can cause an individual to have acute or chronic OH * The complications of orthostatic hypotension * How orthostatic hypotension is diagnosed * How orthostatic hypotension is treated * Pharmacology for OH Read the article and view references here.

Your host, Dr. Sharon Surita goes over two of the functional labs we use to help direct our food choices, make meal planning simpler and more precise with respect to improving energy and our sense of balance (homeostasis). Metabolic Typing is a method that is unique in that it addresses a person's bioindividual needs, macronutrient ratios and ingredients that work best. The Mediator Release Test is a food sensitivity test that allows us to understand which foods may be triggering immune responses even without having to challenge the ingredients prior to the lab draw. Dr. Surita holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering and has studied environmental toxicants extensively. She has published many peer-reviewed papers that cover topics specific to air, water and soil quality along with more specific papers on compounds found in consumer products, that may contribute to elevated health risks. Where previously, she focused on external stressors impacting health, she is now committed to helping others find optimal health by looking at both internal and external stressors.

This week Robbie and Jordan chat about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Have you ever "stood up too fast" and felt faint or dizzy, with fuzzy vision and a rapid pulse? POTS correlates with ADHD, Autism and other neurodivergences, but the condition isn't widely known and symptoms overlap with many other conditions. Fortunately, the tests are simple, and lifestyle changes like upping your water and sodium intake can resolve symptoms for some people. CORRECTIONS: a) The test for POTS involves measuring heart rate after standing, not blood pressure as Jordan said. b) Robbie refers to a hormone in dental freezing compound; this is epinephrine, not norepinephrine. Robbie refers to an episode of On Being featuring Amanda Ripley and Jordan mentions an episode of The ADHD Adults on ADHD & eating disorders.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is the most common type of dysautonomia – a dysfunction of the nerves that regulate nonvoluntary body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and sweating. POTS is characterized by symptoms in multiple organ systems and an abnormal increase in heart rate upon standing.

Guest: Jeremy K. Cutsforth-Gregory, M.D. (@JCGneuro) Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD) Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is a medical condition manifested by tachycardia that occurs after standing or prolonged sitting and is often associated with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and occasionally syncope. POTS can be difficult to diagnose as patients often present with a variety of vague, and what seem like unrelated, symptoms. Management of patients with POTS can be equally difficult as there's no one treatment which is effective in all patients. However, patients with POTS often have typical symptoms and objective findings on physical exam. Once a diagnosis is made, effective treatment is available and many patients with POTS can be helped with non-pharmacologic therapy. To help us understand POTS and its management, we'll speak with Dr. Jeremy Cutsforth-Gregory, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. We'll discuss the proposed theories regarding the cause of POTS, the different types of POTS, pathologic findings in patients with POTS, and the management of patient with POTS. Specific Topics: Typical symptoms of POTS Risk factors for POTS Theories regarding the cause of POTS Description of the varieties of POTS How to diagnose POTS Pathologic and pharmacologic abnormalities related to POTS Management of patients with POTS Connect with the Mayo Clinic's School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.

The episode discusses the autonomic nervous system as well as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how they play a role in dysautonomia. Symptoms vary widely by person but can include blood pressure and pulse changes when standing, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, heart palpitations, nausea, cognitive changes, shaking, fainting, coldness or pain in the extremities, shortness of breath, chest pain, GI and bladder problems, and poor sleep. POTS can be caused by another condition or can be of unknown origin. POTS is often diagnosed via TILT table test, but can also be diagnosed from the Quantitative Sudomotor Axon Reflex Test, Thermoregulatory Sweat Test, GI motility studies, or skin biopsies looking at the small fiber nerves. Treatment varies depending on the symptoms but often includes medication, lifestyle changes, increase in salt intake and water intake, compression stockings, and sitting.       Links: POTS 1 POTS 2 POTS 3 POTS 4 POTS 5 POTS 6 POTS 7 Travel POTS 8 POTS 9   Links: Website Facebook Instagram Email Twitter     Please subscribe to our podcast in the iTunes store, or wherever you find your podcasts, Leave us a 5-star review, to help us know what you like and what you don't like, and to make sure other like-minded people find support through this podcast.

Quotes “This is often a misdiagnosed issue going on for so many people and called things like chronic fatigue, or you just have a weak immune system and it's just brain fog. It's just this. And just that. And really it is this combination, this grouping of symptoms that can oftentimes be pushed off as something else.” “Part of what had you dig deeper and be like, there has got to be another reason or not necessarily a reason, but there has to be another way to, to help our bodies move through this and to get stronger. We can't just continue to feel this way.” “I was able to figure out there's a propensity for high intracranial pressure and we needed to bring the pressure down and when we brought the pressure down that was a great help for symptoms but it was still not hitting the underlying problem, but we couldn't ignore it. So I went ahead and released that in a book, The Driscoll Theory, it went worldwide. It was awesome because it changed lives immediately. But we still weren't done.”  “My son, he is a poster child for recovery. This is my greatest victory in life. It really is to get answers for him and to see him doing so well.” “Diana, I believe we all have a divine purpose. This definitely is yours because there's not a lot of people who would be able,12 years down the line, still wake up with that same, not just curiosity, ...but a calm nature..., as well as a certain level of ferrosity” “We just have to keep at it and keep looking for the answers.” “That is crazy hard and crazy that patients have to be the ones to lead the charge. I think it won't always be that hard. Better labels, we’ll know more about genetics and we'll be able to identify these things much earlier with the validation the patient needs and that objectivity that they don't have to fight for the help that they need.” Additional Information About Jenn: Jenn studied and graduated with honors in Human Anatomy and Physiology with such a passion that it propelled her to continue her education over many years.

Among the many non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are blood pressure changes. One manifestation is neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, a condition in which blood pressure drops sharply when one moves from a reclining to a more upright position, such as standing up when getting out of bed or rising from a chair. The person may feel lightheaded, dizzy, lose balance, or, rarely, even lose consciousness. Besides being uncomfortable, the condition can be dangerous if it leads to a fall and subsequent injury. Orthostatic hypotension is common in mid- and late-stage PD, but it may also be an early sign of the disease.   Fortunately, there are strategies and other measures people can do for themselves to lessen the problem, and a variety of medications may help. Other conditions and medications can also lead to the condition, and they should be investigated in addition to a connection with PD. In this podcast, neurologist Dr. Katie Longardner of the University of California San Diego discusses the problem, how it is diagnosed, what people can do to alleviate it, and some of the research she and others are conducting.

The course will cover topics such as finite natural resources, the importance of biodiversity and the effects of climate change, alongside the necessity to minimise personal carbon footprints.   1. Acne for Pre-Teen Boy [14:28] Heather says: Hi Robb & Nicki, Thanks so much for your podcast. I've been a follower for years. My son has eaten a mostly primal diet (he drinks organic milk and eats organic cheese & butter) since he was in preschool, but I do allow him to cheat once a week on school pizza or at birthday parties. (He's the only one in our family that does not show a sensitivity to gluten). However, he is twelve, going on thirteen and he is beginning to show acne, which of course is natural at this age. My husband suffered from bad acne during his teenage years and believes that anti-bacterial soap is the best solution. But that goes against every cell in my body. I see this as a hormone issue and wonder if you know of a better solution (doesn't antibacterial soap kill our good bacteria, too?). I did mention to my son that he might think about giving up the dairy (even though its organic), but he did not like that idea. Do you have any other solutions that could make my son happy (and possibly keep my marriage together? ;-) ) Thanks for any insights! Heather 2. Imodium - Brain Related Issues [21:51] John says: Hi Robb! I've heard you mention that using immodium has helped you with your BMs. I've always been a person on the "loose" side of things. I've experimented with 2mg of immodium in the morning and 2mg in the evening. This has been a game changer for me. There's less "urge" to go, and more consistent and satisfying poops. I also feel like I'm absorbing my nutrients and have put on muscle mass as a results. I also take Microbiome Labs' MegaSpore and MegaMucosa... They're incredible supplements for gut health. But even then, nothing has worked like immodium for slowing transit time in the gut. I've heard that immodium acts similarly to an opiate, but in the intestines. Is there a danger with long term use? From what I know, opiates can have negative effects on the brain, mood, depression, etc. I'm wondering if you have any insight into this topic? P.S. It was awesome to meet you at Paleo FX. You're one of my heroes and The Paleo Solution changed my life. 3. Water Consumption Goal? [27:59] Stephanie says: Hi Robb! I listened to your podcast with Dr. Ruscio and you mentioned that we are told to drink too much water and that there is no data that actually supports drinking half your weight on ounces of water. What is sufficient for hydration? I do drink coffee in the mornings so I'm not sure if that changes anything. 4. Protein Preferred Metabolism [35:06] Jeff says: Robb, Assuming a metabolically healthy individual, is it possible for someone to have a metabolism that runs best on a very high protein and very low fat and very low carbohydrate diet? I'm talking 2 to 3 times body weight in grams of protein and near PSMF levels of carbs and fats. My 30 second life story if it helps. I weighed 300 pounds as a teenager, lost 60 of those pounds through unhealthy pursuits in Slimfast and vegan land, and continued to lose another 75 pounds over the past ten years through various forms of Paleo/Primal/ancestral approved protocols. I've done every variation of macronutrient setup one can concoct, but always feel my best when consuming obscene amounts of lean protein only. Is this nutritional preference viable and metabolically sustainable? Did I break myself so badly as a teenager that this is the only remaining option? Am I morally obliged to offset my sins as a roughage humping vegan from decades past? I'm aware of the possible pitfalls this type of diet presents, but can't seem to sustain other protocols that support my Look/Feel/Perform objectives. Speaking of which, mine are: -Look: lean and muscular -Feel: steady physical and mental energy -Perform: build muscle and be awesome Thank you so much for your wisdom. You have and continue to be such an impactful influence in my life. Keep up the good fight! -Jeff PS - Sacred Cow is a triumph! 5. Salt and Diarrhea [41:48] Shaun says: I have been Keto for 3 years and strict carnivore now for 18 months. As of today I am 40KG lighter than I was at the start of this journey. After lots of experimenting I have found that my tolerance for salt is much less than it use to be. In short, if I don't get enough salt (~6-9g a day, although I have gone as high as 12g) I feel lethargic, light headed etc - the general malaise you get with low sodium. However, more recently I have found even 6gs of salt will cause a flushing effect and give me fairly instant diarrhoea. Titrating my salt intake down stops the diarrhoea but I seem to be constantly walking this tight rope between Orthostatic hypotension and disaster pants when I get a bit too friendly with the salt shaker. Do you think this lower tolerance could be my body trying regulate the balance of sodium and potassium or something else? do you have any tips on managing salt intake and mitigating the flushing effect? I.e. would it be better to space the sodium intake out rather than larger boluses? is it better to take salt with water or without water? etc. for background I have found as I have got leaner and leaner I require much more fat for satiety and currently hit 1.6g/kg of protein and fill up the rest of my calories with lots of animal fat. I also eat a tonne of liver, kidney and heart. Since March I have been doing a summer cut so I am currently in a fairly deep calorie deficit which could be a confounder. currently 65kg ~10% BF (Ketogains calculator puts me at 8%). Thanks for your time and all your efforts. Btw I loved the sacred cow book! Kind Regards Shaun Sponsor: This episode of The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by White Oak Pastures.

Dr. Diana Driscoll is an invisible illness patient, an author, speaker, patient advocate, researcher, inventor, clinical director, wife, and mother. Dr Driscoll was disabled with an “invisible illness” including dysautonomia (POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). After traveling the country looking for doctors to help, and yet unresponsive to treatment, she set up a corporation (Genetic Disease Investigators) to get answers. She created a blog (Prettyill.com) to reach out to others when her children also became ill, where her forum is known worldwide. When answers came, she wrote “The Driscoll Theory”, which dramatically changed the current treatment for POTS. Her research continues and she is the recipient of two patents to date. Although disabled for over a decade, she and her children are fully recovered, and Dr. Driscoll is now the Clinical Director of POTS.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jacqueline: My 8 year old daughter is struggling with some mast cell issues. We’ve been to multiple Drs and can’t get a solid diagnosis. They diagnosed her with hyperpermeable skin and then another Dr diagnosed her with chronic idiopathic urticaria. Right now I have her on Zyrtec which has helped her to be able to eat more foods without getting itchy and also helped with her constipation. The weird symptom is if she spends a lot of time outside in the sun the next time she eats she will get itchy dry arms. It doesn’t last too long, I just put anti itch cream on and that seems to help. I’m trying to heal her but every functional test I’ve done on her, stool, OAT, and mold, have come up with issues, Bacterial overgrowth, Candida overgrowth, c diff, h pylori, blastocysts, mold toxicity, and food sensitivities. She is so sensitive to almost every supplement we’ve tried. How do I help her heal if she is so reactive? Also, how do I keep the faith that she will be better one day when we keep having set backs? Dar: Now I don't drink alcohol very often but when I do it's usually a special ocassion like a wedding or birthday party every couple of months where we probably tend to have 5 or more drinks in the night. I guess that's considered binge drinking. How had is it if it's only a few times a year. Rya: Hi there Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. After suffering for decades, I found your podcasts and have a new sense of hope.I am unfortunately, worse than ever after seeing an Functional Doctor and naturopath and I’m scared.I am a 34 year old woman... Long story short, I was on PPIs for 20 years (finally weaned this year!) 2 years ago I developed extreme vertigo, vestibular neuronitis, daily migraines and head pressure, ear itchiness, leakage, and fullness, Orthostatic hypotension, Histamine intolerance, and more. I figured out it was gluten and dairy giving me the symptoms and promptly gave them up. ALL symptoms vanished! 6 months later, the symptoms returned despite being off of gluten and dairy and I lost oral tolerance to new foods each month until I was down to only tolerating a few. I have had a GI Effects test, heavy metals, Viome, food intolerances, mold, etc. Everything comes back with very little clues and all of my doctors are at a loss. No parasites, no signs of leaky gut (confirmed by both an FMD & naturopath), no metal toxicity... some IgG intolerances (way smaller list than what I actually tolerate)... I do apparently have adrenal insufficiency and estrogen dominance, but I don’t tolerate any adrenal supplements and so far DIM / bioidentical progesterone isn’t helping.I live on a very humid & moldy island that I can’t leave for over a year, but my symptoms started WELL BEFORE we moved here and my mold test showed almost nothing. I also don’t tolerate glutathione! I only eat 100% clean, organic, non processed local food. I never “cheat” because even a tiny bit sends me into the symptom frenzy. I’ve been healing my gut and supporting my detox organs for over a year. I cook and freeze food immediately to lower histamine. DAO / anti histamine supplements don’t help much. The only exercise I tolerate now is light weights and yoga. I go to the sauna 5 days a week and meditate daily. I’m currently doing a modified version of the CBO protocol because I can’t tolerate many of the ingredients. I support my vagus nerve. Please help! I am 98 lbs and I have no idea what to do. I’ve turned from an ambitious, active, social person into a sickly, broke hermit and I fear I will never recover! I’ve spend countless time, money, and effort healing and my debilitating symptoms continue to worsen. FMDs etc just keep putting me on “standard protocols” that work for 99% of people, but I’m the 1% that needs something very customized. The worst part is that I still have NO IDEA what is causing all of these symptoms after I eat basically anything at all. All I know is that it’s connected to food and I get every single one of those (head centered) symptoms after eating. I actually don’t have GI symptoms except GERD.Side note: my younger sister developed celiacs around the same time and has very similar symptoms when consuming gluten. My mother also developed similar symptoms after going on a cruise and starting perimenopause. It must be partly epigenetics? Thank you SO MUCH!! Penelope: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do - I listen to your show every day and you have become my go-to for any health and lifestyle related questions. I have one of the first Apple watches created (the one without a direct cellular connecting, but has wifi and Bluetooth) and Ive become nervous about wearing it for fear that it is harming me in some way. Was hoping you could help me determine whether this fear holds weight or not. I would love to wear the watch for all the tracking benefits. Can you speak to the pros and cons of wearing these smart watch devices? Thank you so much and have a great day!

This condition involves the inability to tolerate different positions or spike in pulse rate which is related to the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. The POTS symptoms are very similar to another condition called Beri Beri which is a vitamin B1 (Thiamine) deficiency. Symptoms of POTS: • Dizziness • Fatigue • Pain / Fibromyalgia • Neurological Tingling of the Feet and Hands • Anxiety, Depression Cause of Vitamin B1 Deficiency: • Consuming a lot of refined sugars and carbohydrates • Stress – Anything that would shock the system or stresses that could specifically deplete vitamin B1. Erythrocyte Transketolase – The test to determine if it's a subclinical deficiency and this measures the function of the B1 in the body.

See transcript below pic. The dizzying tale of an injured Army Officer that never expected to have her career cut short by a freak accident resulting in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  Jean Marie has worked hard to recover from a severe brain and spinal cord injury and is sharing part of her story in this episode.  I am sure we will glean more information from her in future episodes as we delve deeper into the mysteries of POTS. Jean: [00:00:15] I. am so excited to talk about today's topic. I already started the application process online. [00:00:19][4.9] Lita: [00:00:20] Wait a minute. What application process? [00:00:21][1.1] Jean: [00:00:22] For medical marijuana. [00:00:22][0.7] Ron: [00:00:24] We're not talking about marijuana today. [00:00:25][1.5] Jean: [00:00:26] Oh but I thought you guys said we were talking about pot. [00:00:28][2.0] Lita: [00:00:28] No Jean we're talking about POTs. [00:00:30][2.0] Jean: [00:00:34] OK. POTs, Well then on with the show. Hello and welcome to podcastdx the show that brings you interviews with people just like you whose lives were forever changed by a medical diagnosis. [00:00:44][10.7] Lita: [00:00:45] I'm Lita. [00:00:45][0.3] Ron: [00:00:46] . I'm Ron. [00:00:46][0.9] Jean: [00:00:47] And I'm Jean-Marie. Collectively we are the hosts of podcast X this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for a professional medical advice diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking a new health care regimen and never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you've heard on this podcast. [00:01:18][30.5] Ron: [00:01:18] After all, we are not doctors. [00:01:19][1.0] Lita: [00:01:20] We don't even play them on TV. [00:01:21][1.0] Jean: [00:01:22] But if we were to be TV doctors I'd like to be Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. [00:01:25][3.2] Ron: [00:01:26] And I'd be.... [00:01:26][0.4] Lita: [00:01:27] Ummm no, now back to the show. [00:01:28][0.9] Ron: [00:01:29] Right. On today's show we'll be interviewing one of our own PodcastDX host Jean Marie. Jean had a condition called POTs which stand for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. POTs maybe a condition our listeners aren't familiar with. Please allow us to give you some background. Jean this is a condition you acquired when you were injured while on active duty. What did you tell us about it. [00:01:54][25.2] Jean: [00:01:55] Well Ron POTs is a condition that affects your heart rate and blood pressure with change in position from like lying to standing or sitting to standing. But it isn't really a heart disease or a heart disorder rather it's a disorder of the central nervous system that regulates the heart rate, blood pressure and the rest of the parasympathetic nervous system; breathing, digestion those are all part of this same system and could be affected as well. [00:02:19][24.4] Lita: [00:02:20] Thank you for the background info Jean and thank you for being a guest instead of a host today. [00:02:25][4.7] Jean: [00:02:26] Yeah I didn't know I had a choice in the matter. [00:02:27][2.0] Ron: [00:02:30] hmmm hmm I understand it's been 10 years since you were diagnosed with POTs? [00:02:33][2.7] Jean: [00:02:33] That's right. I was injured in 2000 but it took about eight years to sort out all of the resulting conditions from that accident. [00:02:40][6.3] Lita: [00:02:41] Well Jean, you look great. POTs isn't something that people typically see as a disability or a condition there might not be outward signs but being active enough to join us tonight might be a really big thing for somebody with POTs. Can you tell our listeners how POTs affects you personally in your everyday life. [00:03:03][21.9] Jean: [00:03:03] Sure. Every time I change positions like from moving from sitting to standing or lying down just sitting I get a headache but it only lasts for a few seconds. In addition I tend to faint quite a lot. I passed out while drying my hands. I fell into a bathtub and fractured my kneecap and my cribriform plate. I had CSF or some cerebral spinal fluid leaking from my nose and I was on bedrest for about two weeks or a month afterwards. [00:03:32][29.0] Lita: [00:03:34] Well Jean what symptoms first led you to the doctor. [00:03:37][3.0] Jean: [00:03:38] I kept fainting having dizzy spells and the like. [00:03:40][2.5] Ron: [00:03:41] Well how long did it take for you to get a diagnosis. [00:03:42][1.3] Jean: [00:03:44] My symptoms were bothering me for about eight years before they diagnosed me with POTs. [00:03:47][3.5] Ron: [00:03:48] Wow. Can you recall any specific symptoms that really stood out. [00:03:53][4.4] Jean: [00:03:53] Well I actually thought my symptoms were normal for someone with a head injury. And then one day I was waiting for my nephews to finish up their sailing lessons on Lake Michigan when I felt very dizzy and when they got back to shore we all went to the hospital and I was very surprised to see how low my blood pressure was. It was around 50 over 40 and it took hours for it to come back to normal for it which is for me is about 120 over 60 for me. [00:04:19][25.1] Lita: [00:04:19] What tests help diagnose your condition. [00:04:21][2.1] Jean: [00:04:23] The tests for this condition are a bit odd. There's the tilt table test and for that the doctor or technician straps you to a table and then the table literally tilts up until you are in a standing position. And while they're doing this they're monitoring your blood pressure and pulse throughout this test. And then there's a couple other tests that they actually monitor your perspiration based on chemical and electrical stimulation. [00:04:47][24.0] Lita: [00:04:48] Did anything help relieve your symptoms before you were actually diagnosed. Anything that you could help yourself to feel better. [00:04:56][8.1] Jean: [00:04:57] Moving slowly taking time to get up slowly and staying hydrated. And then my doctors also prescribed support stockings and an abdominal binder to help keep my blood pressure up. But I had no control over when I would faint. [00:05:11][14.1] Ron: [00:05:12] Well how bad did it actually get before the doctor diagnosed you. And what was the worst symptom you had to deal with. [00:05:19][6.3] Jean: [00:05:19] Well when I would faint I would often get hurt as I said before I fractured my skull and my kneecap. I also tore all of the tendons and ligaments off of my ankle. And last year this time I bruised my spleen when I fainted into a fire pit. [00:05:33][13.5] Lita: [00:05:35] Did anything help with that symptom at the time. [00:05:37][2.1] Jean: [00:05:38] I was told to limit my activities and they actually prescribed that I use a wheelchair and sug, suggested that I use a wheelchair for transportation. [00:05:46][7.7] Lita: [00:05:48] OK well moving ahead to when you actually were diagnosed. How did you feel when you found out what was actually going on. [00:05:55][7.8] Jean: [00:05:56] I was relieved. They said that medication might help and that I needed to drink more caffeine and increase my salt intake. So coffee and fries with salts. [00:06:05][9.2] Ron: [00:06:06] All right. Now I understand that POTs is a type of dysaoutotomia a dysfunction of the nerves that regulate the body's involuntary body functions such as the heart rate blood pressure and sweating. There are many causes from autoimmune disease to inherited disorders and viruses that damage the nervous system. Also mass cell disorders to spinal injury. And that's just naming a few of them. Did you discover what caused your condition and was there an actual starting point for this disorder. [00:06:40][33.3] Jean: [00:06:41] Yes I suffered a rather serious head neck and shoulder injury and that was when I started having my symptoms and that is what caused me to get POTs. [00:06:51][9.4] Lita: [00:06:52] What types of doctors or specialists did you see before you were actually diagnosed. [00:06:56][4.2] Jean: [00:06:57] I have over the past 18 years I've seen a wide range of medical specialists from almost every discipline. [00:07:03][5.2] Lita: [00:07:04] Okay. Now you're from the Chicago area as we know and we have a good selection of health care providers close by. Did you find what you needed here close to home or did you have to travel looking for expertise. [00:07:16][12.0] Jean: [00:07:17] Well although there are amazing physicians right here in Chicago I did receive a lot of care out-of-state as well from everywhere from Stanford, Walter Reed. All the way to the east coast and in New York. [00:07:32][15.4] Ron: [00:07:34] Was there a time you had to be hospitalized either because of the POTs or because of an injury you occurred after passing out. [00:07:40][6.6] Jean: [00:07:41] Yes I have been to the E.R. and hospitalized and more than one occasion. [00:07:44][3.1] Lita: [00:07:46] And do you have to take a lot of medication. [00:07:47][1.2] Jean: [00:07:48] Well I am more than some people less than others I take medications that actually help keep my blood pressure up and I actually take salt tablets every day. [00:07:57][8.8] Ron: [00:07:58] Has anything else changed since your diagnosis. [00:07:59][1.4] Jean: [00:08:01] Well unlike most people I have to load up on caffeine and salts. And so that's a little bit unusual because most times they tell you to cut those two. But walking is still very important and I just have to be very careful. And then there are certain diet restrictions I drink about one hundred and forty four ounces of water a day which is a bit more than average I think. And I have to you know monitor my blood pressure Maintain a healthy diet and take the time extra time when I'm getting up from either lying or sitting down to standing so that my blood pressure doesn't fall and I don't faint. [00:08:36][35.5] Lita: [00:08:37] OK. Does anything make your life easier. [00:08:40][2.5] Jean: [00:08:40] Well last year I received a recumbent bike from an organization called Ride to Recovery and that's allowed me to get you know the chance to get outside feel the fresh air and have a bit of fun. [00:08:50][9.1] Lita: [00:08:50] Well sure why not. Everybody should. I think they call it recreational therapy don't they Ron. [00:08:55][4.7] Ron: [00:08:55] Yeah I think you're right. [00:08:56][0.8] Jean: [00:08:57] Oh- from the two recreational therapists. [00:08:58][1.5] Ron: [00:09:00] You're stuck with us. [00:09:00][0.6] Lita: [00:09:00] Yeah. What would you like our audience to know about POTs. [00:09:03][2.8] Jean: [00:09:05] I guess that it's good for everyone to keep in mind that you're not always going to see someone's health condition or problem that some problems are as they say like invisible. So don't judge people just on what you see. [00:09:15][10.6] Ron: [00:09:16] All right since you're the expert here what advice might you have for our listeners. [00:09:21][4.7] Jean: [00:09:22] Well I definitely think it's a good idea to keep a list of all your symptoms. And even though it sounds a bit redundant go over the same list with every single doctor you see. [00:09:31][8.5] Ron: [00:09:32] OK Jean thank you so much for sharing your story on today's show. If any of our listeners out there have POTs we'd love to hear from you. [00:09:40][7.8] Jean: [00:09:40] Or pot. [00:09:41][0.1] Ron: [00:09:42] Oh no. [00:09:42][0.1] Lita: [00:09:42] no, no pot. I umm, We might be doing an episode on pot. [00:09:45][2.3] Jean: [00:09:46] OK. [00:09:46][0.0] Ron: [00:09:47] But that would be later. [00:09:47][0.5] Lita: [00:09:48] Yes. [00:09:48][0.0] Ron: [00:09:48] Today we're still talking about POTs. [00:09:49][0.6] Lita: [00:09:49] Yes. Yes. [00:09:49][0.2] Jean: [00:09:49] Oh OK sorry.

This week we discuss the disutility of orthostatic vital signs as a diagnostic tool in patients with suspected volume loss. https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Podcast_140_0_Final_Cut.m4a Download Leave a Comment Tags: Cardiology, Orthostatic Hypotension Show Notes Summary: Based on the limited available evidence, it's unlikely orthostatic vital sign measurement can be used to determine which patients have volume loss and which do not. The baseline prevalence of orthostatic vital signs is common and patients will not always develop orthostatic vital signs in response to volume loss. Therefore, there will both be patients who are orthostatic by numbers without volume loss and there will be patients with volume loss who are not orthostatic by numbers. Symptoms, with the exception of inability to stand to have orthostatics performed, are not useful either. Bottom Line: Based on the low overall sensitivity of orthostatic vital sign measurements, they should not be used to influence clinical decision making.

This week we discuss the disutility of orthostatic vital signs as a diagnostic tool in patients with suspected volume loss. https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Podcast_140_0_Final_Cut.m4a Download Leave a Comment Tags: Cardiology, Orthostatic Hypotension Show Notes Summary: Based on the limited available evidence, it’s unlikely orthostatic vital sign measurement can be used to determine which patients have volume loss and which do not. The baseline prevalence of orthostatic vital signs is common and patients will not always develop orthostatic vital signs in response to volume loss. Therefore, there will both be patients who are orthostatic by numbers without volume loss and there will be patients with volume loss who are not orthostatic by numbers. Symptoms, with the exception of inability to stand to have orthostatics performed, are not useful either. Bottom Line: Based on the low overall sensitivity of orthostatic vital sign measurements, they should not be used to influence clinical decision making.
