Im 40 years old man. Im suffering from strange symptoms since 2 months. My symptoms are: dizziness, nausea, unsteadiness, extreme weakness and fatigue. I have difficulty tolerate walking outside. Just few minutes and then I feel like I will fall and my head gets heavy and I feel nauseous and fear. I made echo two times and the results were normal. All other tests: CBC, sugar, minerals, etc. All of them were normal except slight deficiency in vit D. I suspect that I have POTS but here in Yemen the doctors are not aware of this disease.
Actually, my symptoms first happened to me when I was 30 years old but disappeared in a month. After that, they happen every two years, take a month and disappear. Meanwhile, I have slight dizziness when Im teaching in the classroom or in meeting, etc, but never bothered me from doing my work. . One doctor gave me propronalol in 2009 because he noticed high HR . So, Im used to take a 10 mg propanalol when necessary. May be 10 tablets a month. But, nowadays it seems that the symptoms are more severe. This complicated the problem. But the difference in HR rarely exceed 30 beats and when I take propanalol, the maximum is 80 sitting to 100 standing with 20 beats difference.
I've been having a hard time getting a diagnosis so I just wanted to run some of my symptoms to you all to see if this could actually be a POTS or other disease. I did a laying/standing test at home and I'm really curious what everyone thinks about my numbers. Do these look like POTS? I dont take any medications, but there are mild to moderate symptoms as shown below.
