Graphs of Heart Rates During Tilt Table Tests

I wanted to share with all of you a graph of my vitals during my TTT's. I'm not sure how to get BP's to work, but if I do, then I'll post those alongside the HR's so you can see how that correlates (or does not correlate in my case...hehe).

Cleveland Clinic

UPMC Passavant

At the place where I have marked Nitro, they lowered me back down briefly and gave me half a sublingual nitro pill. I thought it was going to kill me. I will never ever let any doctor give me that drug again! Ugh!

Today is a TERRIBLE POTS Day

Today is just SOO awful. How the hell am I supposed to live like this? I just feel like bursting out in tears because my the youthful years of my life have been wasted. If I can feel this terrible at 26, then I'll likely be in a wheelchair at 40.

Armour Not Going Well

Unfortunately adding in the armour is NOT going well at all. The insomnia is out of control. Today I was told by my doctor not to take any to see if my heart rate calms down a little. Just a moment ago I took my blood pressure and it was 124/76 with a HR of 119! This was upon standing so it is NOT salt wasting as my blood pressure went up rather than down. Obviously the armour has made me go "hyper" or I'm pooling the hormone in my blood. Regardless, this is the worst I have felt since starting the hormone replacement. I just can't take this dark depression I've been in for the past week and nothing I do snaps me out of it.

I have absolutely no motivation to do anything and would have no problems just staring at the wall for hours on end. That is one hell of a drastic change from me just 2 weeks ago where I was feeling fantastic.

Tonight I am curious to see how I feel and if I can even sleep. If I can sleep, I think that alone will help my mood lift.
