I keep getting ghosted by doctors. In the last year, i've been diagnosed with 3 conditions, one of them being POTS. None of the doctors for any of them have been responding to me, so I've come here. I don't know what normal is. My heart rate gets up to 216 (not a typo!) and down to 47 (also not a typo). Sometimes i feel like its going so fast i can't feel it or like its going so slow its just going to stop. Theres a woman on instagram who says she worries at 116. If that's normal, is there something else wrong? I've emailed my cardiologist and he doesn't reply. i'm kind of scared, i thought that the drastic changes were, if not usual, explainable, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
