I’m sorry but glad you got a diagnosis I got one last year and have had it for five+ years. Let me know if you find anything that helps I’ve tried beta blockers and high pressure meds and they didn’t work for me but work for some

Yeeessss. Even before my diagnosis I found that salty things made me feel better. Gatorade was the big one that helped me but I had no clue why exactly it helped. I forgot electrolytes are salt. I thought I was just dehydrated but it was probably both.

At the moment I don’t have blood pressure issues it’s just my heart. I went from 120 to 46 but my bp stayed normal. Nausea and staying hydrated are my biggest struggles right now.

That’s fair yeah heart rate is my biggest issue also but they wanted to try something else I guess. I get the nausea stuff also. If you like coconut water that’s helped me a bit
