I have noticed since becoming ill that when I get up from bed to use the toilet, my heart rate beats fast as well as my arms especially, feel derived from oxygen/blood for a few seconds, and then things start to calm down.
I’m 9-10 days in to a ketogenic diet, and I’ve noticed these symptoms have increased a lot. Going from a sitting position to standing, my heart rate is around 130bpm standing. I can also feel my heart beating inside my head.
I’ve never really considered PoTs before, but it’s strange how starting a diet can inflame these symptoms.
Do I need more symptoms than what I’m explaining to be diagnosed with this? And if it turns out I have PoTs, what’s the treatment for it?
Thanks.
