[quote=Anonymous]You really might want to consider Hyperadrenergic POTS as the source of your problems, especially since a beta blocker seems to help you. POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. Hyperadrenergic POTS is a subtype characterized by increased blood pressure upon standing, severe anxiety, and other symptoms caused by very high norepinephrine levels. It is often treated with beta blockers. I would really encourage you to do a google search and see if the symptoms describe you. In my experience, most people in the medical community - including cardiologists - are not familiar with POTS and tend to dismiss it (to put it mildly). You need to see a doctor who specializes in this problem (there aren't many). There is no point in treating an anxiety disorder if you have an underlying medical problem. [/quote]
