hi I'm worrying once again.

I've just checked my pulse and on standing its 105! it drops to 85 when sitting. it should be in the 60s.

is this normal for someone who has general dizziness? i had vertigo 5 days ago and since then light headedness, fuzzy head and aching eyes but atm i feel okay but ive had it on and off and i also did the vestibular exercises earlier on but nothing heavy. should i see my doctor?

    I am not a doctor and you should ask them, but I looked your symptom and this info came back. Try not to freak out about things, it will make it worse. Look this up.

    Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. Some typical symptoms include dizziness and fainting. It's sometimes known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
