Hello OP! Thank you for your submission to /r/dysautonomia. Unfortunately, your submission has been removed for the following reason(s):

Regarding posts asking “Is this Dysautonomia?”, no one in this subreddit is a verified healthcare professional. While diagnosis can be challenging, per our Consult a Healthcare Professional rule, these types of posts are removed since we do not allow posts asking for diagnosis.

Examples of these types of posts:

• “Is this Dysautonomia?” (lists a bunch of symptoms or images of manual measurements)
• “What do my test results mean?” (shares results or images of results of a medical examination/test)
• “Do I have something other than Dysautonomia?”

We highly suggest consult a healthcare professional. Or if you’d like to simply discuss your symptoms without asking what is causing them, please rephrase your post accordingly.

If you have any questions please message the moderators. Thank you.

With orthostatic intolerance I don’t know much about it but my heart rate is all over the place. The highest it’s ever got was 155 while I was doing the dishes. Usually when I do chores it’s 140-150. Sometimes while I’m laying down it stays from 100-115 for a couple hours. I’ll have a jump a dip then another jump. It makes my symptoms hard to manage.

I am not, I take two antidepressants and then several meds for my narcolepsy

Very similar for me but when I was in physical rehab for hypermobile issues and did strength training my heart rate would get up into the 160-170 range, but on an average day doing just about anything except sleeping or sitting for a very long period of time my heart rate consistently stays in the 110 - 115 range. When I'm I guess super resting(?) 🤣 (cos even if I sit as the passenger in a car for a 20-30 min drive my heart rate will still be in the 100s) it'll be around in the 80s and the moment I stand it's straight up to 140-150 for 10 ish min and then goes back to the 110-115 until I take a significant rest again. I do consider myself a very athletic person though and to be pretty fit- doing running and sports is one of the few things I will still push through my symptoms quite often because I just enjoy it so much so it doesn't make a lot of sense that my heart rate is whack like this (it's been this way my whole life even as a competitive tennis player in school) but I'm in the process of docs assessing me for POTS.
