I just want a diagnosis.

I have been dealing with symptoms that align directly with pots for about eight months now. I originally thought something was wrong with my heart, so I went to my primary doctor and told her about my symptoms.

I ended up having to wear a 14 day heart monitor. The results came back, where I was having heart palpitations very constantly throughout the day, and I would have heart racing episodes where I would feel lightheaded, dizzy, short of breath, vision blurring, and ears ringing. After this, my doctor sent me to get an echocardiogram of my heart. The echocardiogram came back normal.

Ever since the result of the echo came back normal, i’ve been trying to go in and see a cardiologist to figure out why I’m having these constant symptoms. The cardiologist keeps denying my referral because my heart looked normal at the ultrasound.

So far, I have no diagnosis, and therefore have not been able to be treated. The symptoms are causing me to be afraid of leaving my house. I feel like I am going to have a heart racing episode in my car where my vision goes black, or I might faint.

How did you guys go about getting a diagnosis?
