Have you looked into POTS Syndrome? POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia Syndrome. It is believed that most people who have CFS in fact also have POTS and visa versa. The symptoms are almost identical. Symptoms of POTS include: unremitting fatigue (often brought on after a virus, trauma, stressful event, pregnancy or puberty), racing heart, orthostatic intolerance, shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, the feeling of passing out when you stand, exercise intolerance, cold feet and hands, temperature regulation issues, and many more strange symptoms. To learn more about this syndrome you can contact me any time at [email protected]
Any one who suspects they have this should see an electrophysiologist or another doctor who specializes in autonomic dysfunctions.It is important to rule out Mitral valve prolapse, so a ultra sound of the heart should be ordered. A tilt table test or orthostatic vitals can determine if you have this syndrome or not.
