I feel hopeless right now because of a very unexpected situation that's came up with my health that's totally sidelined me. I'm having what's known as orthostatic intolerance, there's drastic shift changes in my blood pressure while going from standing to sitting and vice versa. When I sit down my blood pressure shoots up too much. When I stand ut goes down not only does this feel very bad but is really limiting what I can do. Before this happened I was very active so not only am I not handling this well, but being active helped some pre existing mental health issues. So this going on witlth my heart and autonomic nervous system not working right had the mental health issues going through the roof. They had diagnosed me with something called posterior orthostatic tachycardia syndrome but this had what glfelt like been cured until 6 days ago or so and it struck again. There's no way really of lowering the bp while sitting without effecting it while standing so I don't think the doctor can do much. These issues aren't like getting antibiotics for an infection, or pills for pain, it is complex intricate stuff so that's why I am running low on hope.
