As I've mentioned before, I have some heart rate issues. Yesterday I finally got in to see the cardiologist, Dr. S. He told me that it's very unlikely I have a serious problem.The short version is that I probably have sinus tachycardia, or I might have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Neither are really anything to worry about. In the coming weeks, I'm scheduled for a holter monitor, an echo-cardiogram (an ultrasound on my heart), and a follow-up appointment.
I've actually felt fine coming down to a lower dose of Savella. I was a little worried that I wasn't doing it slowly enough or that it would be not enough to help me anymore, but it seems my fears were unfounded. Here's hoping for more good days.
