I have had several tests done. An EKG really wouldn't show anything, but that my hr jumps dramatically when I stand. I have did a great deal of research about POTS and can find very little to be honest. One common thing is that there appears to be an increased norepenepherine level in plasma vs. people that do not have POTS. I did once see a cariologist and never felt like a doctor was more ignorant and just plain inept in my entire life. It was a complete waste of time and money. I do now know a doc that has much greater experience with POTS, but the thing is, at this point I am still hoping that it regulates on its own as it was caused by being on Nardil. I guess at some point though, I would have to just accept that it could be a permanent problem and then I could see this specialist.
