It happened again this morning. helped by low dose Ativan. What I thought were panic attacks my doc thinks is all due to POTS.
These attacks, which could be described as panic-like, only happen when waking up, or yawing, and are never triggered by emotions.
So when I thought they were panic attacks, it helped by just telling myself these attacks couldn't kill me. Now I'm back to thinking my CNS is going to shut down and kill me. Is there even such a thing as a POTS attack??
Despite regular physical therapy and the appropriate POTS treatment, it's the thing that isn't improving much and has the most control over my life. And instills the most fear in me. I hate it.
Could really use some positive stories about how long it took to see improvement with POTS please.

I had this once- It woke me frm my sleep. I thought I was going to die.
I don't know if it was POTS or anxiety. ?
Sorry, I don't have any thing to report about improvements- I am still waiting for my first visit with new LLMD
