Finally Diagnosed...

For the longest time (over 2 years, since I got prego with Olivia), I've been having a very fast heart rate, dizzy spells, and extreme fatigue (I have to sleep a lot more then ever). I attributed my symptoms to being really busy, working full time, and being sleep deprived. Well, finally I had a diagnostic test today at UCH for my tachycardia which involved laying flat on a table and being tilted upward, and for a person with my condition, causing extreme dizziness and nausea. They left me there for 30 minutes. Luckily, since I'm in good shape and am very active, I never passed out.

I still got the diagnosis: POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Here is a detailed description of what it is:

I'm sooo glad to get treatment and improve my quality of life. Any prayers for my new medicine to work well would be appreciated!
