I used this catchy and provocative headline to ask a question:
I am having a serious crash that already lasts for about a week. I'm 95% bedbound and can't talk much. That's weird because before that I had six weeks where I was 80 % home bound, but did not have to lie in bed and was able to cook, meet with friends, talking for hours, working in home office for two hours a day........ And really feeling quite good.
Normally the crashes come rapidly, but this time it was worsening for a few days until I was not able to leave my bed. And I really don't know why, because I don't think that I did too much. Hope I am not getting from moderate to severe
Here comes the question: I think I have POTS because my heard rate goes up while sitting and standing (from 80 Bpm to 115-120 or so). BUT: I feel much better while standing for a few minutes, then lie down again. If I lie the whole day, I feel much worse. Any thoughts are welcome... should I continue with this GET or is my body betraying me
Thank you!!!
