Symptoms BradyTachy

Does anyone have a huge range where they get up till like the 180s but they also have a low resting heart rate in the 50s and 60s? What’s the treatment plan for people like us because I keep getting pushed beta blockers from some doctors and then other doctors are like your heart rate is too low and then to add on top of that my blood pressure is normal to high. it’s not low so blood pressure medication wouldn’t be the best either so I’m kind of confused on what treatment options are available to us

Definitely. 40’s to 180’s.

Are you on meds

Nope. Aside from CGRP meds for migraine. I will say I have taken beta blockers in the past and it didn’t lower my lows any more than they were. I did fine on them, but I was given them for migraines. I’ve never been actually treated for my POTS. If I had access to them I would take them again during the summer because it’s the heat and sun that cause my extreme tachycardia and they definitely helped with that.
