2 liters of saline
Went to the cardiologist today. He's pretty sure my crappy last few days was a POTS flare up. I got 2 liters of saline in the office. It was a weird feeling. It went quickly and I was shaking and freezing. He prescribed a new med which of course I'm scared to take. It's suppose to help my blood vessels and blood pressure?? The side effects are goosebumps and scalp tingling. I read online some people have anxiety as a side effect. I probably should have told him there's no way I'll continue you to take it if that happens.
I also have to wear an event monitor for a month and do a specific physical therapy program designed for people with POTS since I failed my stress test. He's also referring me to an internist which he thinks will help me. It was a productive appointment. I really need to see Stephanie. going 2 weeks with out seeing my t doc was not a good thing. Now if I can just stop sweating and get a decent nights sleep.
