My Diagnosis

Since 2005 I have experienced POTS symptoms, but I wasn't diagnosed until 2008. I went from doctor to doctor and was prescribed countless medications and had several tests done to determine why I was having such tremendous pain throughout my body, joint pain/stiffness, palpitations, brain fogging, difficulty forming words, fast heart rate, headaches, generalized weakness, exercise intolerance, heat intolerance, extreme fatigue, and sensitivity to light, sound, and taste.

It wasn't until 2008 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN that I had the Tilt-Table Test that ultimately diagnosed me with POTS.
