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!
OK. I had written this reply in follow-up to stillhoping's comment about the trying the Florinef and salt...yet I thought she said she didn't have BP problems, only POTS. I was a bit confused for why she would be Rx'd this med if she didn't have BP problems, as that it why it is used.

But, now I know more about your condition. I now realize my PM to you probably made no sense, given your high BP. So, I will rethink this with the more info I have and get back to you.
