ive had it suggested by a few on here I could be dealing with PoTS. Looking into it and doing the home test it seems very likely. I'm just wondering can it cause crash days? My reason for asking is today I woke up feeling extremely weak and floaty on walking, very fast heart walking around, struggling to walk around and a general woozy feeling. If I've walked around today it acaused severe panic.
These are what I call my severe crashes but I don't think they match cfs because I don't feel tired in head and eyes? I do have crashes like that that can last weeks wheere I feel heavy and fatigued.
I just went downstairs to make a drink and I felt like my feet were kind of full of floaty and bouncy? I felt I couldn't stand up as I felt I was bouncing and floaty in legs and weird feeling in my feet like they can't stand on the ground. My head feels all woozy swimmy too. I've had these crashes many times and they do feel different to fatigue crashes. It's like I can't walk about due to how floaty and bouncy I feel in my legs and feet and swimmy head. So hard to put into words.
Before bed last night I did feel weak in my legs and an intolerance to walking about as I felt shaky and weak in my legs. I did go to the park with my daughter before dinner last night as I'd not been out for 2 weekends due to fatigue. I'd had a busy day baking, folding washing and cooking as it was my first day in weeks I felt less fatigued so yes maybe I did overdo it going out but today I don't feel tired in head and eyes it's just the horrible crashes I get where I feel weak, floaty, get bad anxiety if I walk about and just can't stand up as heart races so I have to do nothing but rest an d that's hard with 3 children and no suppprt until hubby gets home.
I've just been worrying all day what causes these type of crashes as they feel different to the ones where I feel tired in head and eyes and body weakness.
Can anyone relate?
