so in march of this year i got diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White. got an ablation for it in April which was successful. i went to see my electrophysiologist today because i still sometimes get chest pressure, elevated BPM when exerting myself or when i’m nervous, and headaches/visual disturbances. i handed him my note where i wrote my symptoms and he misread something i wrote. i wrote that i get a pounding heartbeat when i wake up abruptly/from napping - he read that i get a pounding heartbeat from standing. so today he told me i am borderline POTS. after my ablation he told me i had SVT and its not POTS. and then today he told me he doesn’t know why i’m having uncomfortable feelings in my chest still and that i have borderline POTS because he measured my BP and heart rate when laying down and standing. my BP was fine and my BPM rose to about 20 beats from laying down to standing. this is why he said i’m borderline because apparently your BPM needs to hit 30 from changing positions to officially have POTS. he said with endurance training exercise POTS can be fixed in 6-9 months.
now i’ve read many forums and posts on different websites including here, and many are saying they have similar symptoms. they still get ectopic beats here and there and some have visual disturbances/migraines even months after their ablation. and that it will all go away eventually. i’m not sure what to think anymore. can anyone advise me or tell me their experiences? thank you.
