Were you ever Dx with NMH/OH?
My baseline BP is very high...so Florinef and salt are out. DX is neurocardiogenic syncope and POTS....you understand the relationship!

And yes, my BP is all over the place...even with three meds. Lots of tachycardia too.
As noted, this is why I feel so sick. I also think I'm now deconditioned...My muscles are a shadow of what they were just 18 months ago. But I am stronger in yoga, and my balance is good....

I'll know a lot more on Tuesday when I meet with the cardiologist.

Thanks!
