Welp i got the call. They were like “your heart doesnt have any double or irregular beats but tachycardia was present when you mentioned that you felt your heart pounding out of your chest.” Just keep up the atenolol when needed. Im like Fffff— so obviously no ones knows what pots is.

Last night i had something happen to me thats never happened before… I went to a hockey game and i was using the elevators going up to the 3rd level. The elevator moved very quickly and i didnt like it much but when i got off, my legs were shaking and i was like… “Is the floor shaking?” O.o my dad said no and all of a sudden i felt like fainting and i almost fell but i forced myself not to faint but then i was having trouble breathing for a good 10 minutes and my tachycardia was baddd. I finally calmed down took my atenolol and i was fine going back down the elevator. Is this intercranial pressure?
