Hey you guys, I haven't been on for a while because everything has really been fine. I was diagnosed with hyperadrenergic POTS and inappropriate sinus tachycardia and am being treated for them, so I'm doing much better than I was, but lately I've noticed I'm out of breath all the time. I don't wheeze or cough but I just feel the constant need to catch my breath.
My new doctor wants me to go get lung function testing, but I can't talk myself into it because I'm terrified of medicines and I've seen that they make you inhale things that will make your lungs close up and also things to open them. There is no way I can handle inhaling things to make my lungs close up without absolutely freaking out, and I don't want to inhale anything to open my lungs either cause anything they'd give me will further speed up my already speedy heart. I imagine they'll have me stop all my meds beforehand and that means my heart rate is gonna be like 160 resting and god the whole thing is scary
