Heart rate

I was wondering about heart rate, a year ago my heart rate was often 200+. The last few months on rest my heart rate often drops below 50 then up yo 90+ as soon as stand up obviously increasing the more I do. I have mentioned it to specialist. My blood pressure has improved however since stopping my diuretics. Now at around 110/72 sitting with systolic dropping slightly on standing and diastolic raising very slightly on standing. Heart rate increases by around 25 on standing. This is an improvement on the low blood pressure and postural drop I used to have daily. My main issues these days are getting very clammy when doing any activities and breathlessness but that's not too bad. I don't know whether that's heart related however or vonnected yo the copd, or chronic pancreatitis or whatever is causing all the pain in my back and legs. I know some of my pain is from the dercums syndrome I have but the pain in my thoracic spine and Mt left lower leg are keeping me awake and bringing me to tears everyday nearly. There is so much hoping on with me physically that often the doctors themselves can't work out what is causing whT. I don't know what bits of it could be down to multiple sclerosis, what bits are heart related, or dercums issues or like many say to me , we think there's 1 thing causing all issues, probably an auto immune disease but we can't work out what it is. It's so hard to stay positive when you just keep getting told we aren't sure, your a complicated case and they never organise an mdt, each doctor just keeps working on their specific area. I have requested an mdt on a few occasions but it never materialises. Very sorry for rambling on, hope everyone else doing ok
