Will I ever sleep again?

After getting over a terrible bout of BPPV which also prevented me from sleeping, I started to develop a mystery symptom that only the internet helped me diagnose: POTS. I follow-up with my Cardiologist on Thursday to review the results of my heart monitor but that feels eons away.

During the day I feel pretty ok, my heart rate will increase upon standing but generally it falls off pretty quickly, only feeling tachy for a few seconds, generally less than under a minute. It leaves me breathless sometimes but I can handle it.

The real torture is sleeping- any slight movement or just rolling over to get comfortable sends my heart racing. My pulse is so strong I can feel it in my head and my eyes, my eyes will literally shake in my head when closed. I just want to get a good restful nights sleep but my body won’t let me. I’ve tried propping myself up, I take really deep breaths when rolling over to stabilize my hr, but it’s torture. I wake up so exhausted and go to bed exhausted.

Any tips from those diagnosed? Am I the only one?
