Ever get a diagnosis from a doctor who doesn't exude confidence when she gives it? It is the most unnerving experience I've ever had (in a hospital)...

- ahoyhere 13y agoEver get told that you're "just un-fit" when merely standing up causes you to nearly pass out, by a doctor who exudes confidence? Better to lack confidence than have too much.
- hluska 13y agoGreat point! I hope you're okay - that sounds like a really ugly thing to go through...
- ahoyhere 13y agoThanks for asking. I'm ok. Turns out I developed a medical issue that caused my body to dump salt, one of the causes of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is a known disorder. Electrolyte pills solved it (at least, the symptoms). I discovered this by accident, when I had another reason to take electrolytes and then suddenly I could stand up again. Stupid doctors.
