Re: Dizziness and Heart Palpitations:

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I am currently going to a cardiologist for these

reasons.....someone told me it sounds like I have POTS (postural

orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) So far they have not found any reason

for my skipping, flipping, fast slow heartrate along with dizzyness,

lightheadedness etc.

I told them about POTS but they are going on their own agenda

because I the patient do not know what I am talking about in regaurds

to my heart and why my body is doing these things!!! LOL

I know better, but I'll just have to play the game untill they

finally order a tilt table test....if they do !!! If they don't, I'll

have to look elsewhere.....I believe these things are directly related

to damage of the brain stem compression....but what do I know ??? I am

only a peon patient !!!

((((hugs)))) Sam

to the chiari? I've been getting them and want to know whether it's to

do with the herniation or if it's something else entirely.
