roxi- I have the same speaking issue!Did you ever figure out what caused this? I just had a chest X-ray, echo, head MRI which were all clear.
Dear Amwags,
Im sorry to hear you suffer with the same.
Im happy to say that these symptoms have actually improved a bit. Im still out of breath if i exert myself, but I have a larger effort tolerance window, unless im having a very bad day. The only thing that I did was an exercice that i saw someone with POTS doing on youtube. Take a deep breath and keep it in al lonk as you can, than breath out and dont inhale for as long as you can. Although it was very uncomfortable to do them, they helped. It will be very hard to start with, dont push yourself, just keep air in for a second if thats all you can. Progresivelly you should be able to do it longer.
I feel like the breathing symptom is one of the hundreds of ME symptoms that can come and go out of the blue.
Some of my POTS symptoms improved by themselves. A few months back, i couldnt sit down or up( so on the vertical) for any amount of time due to horrible feelings of malaise and pressure in my head. Now that improved, thank God.
Debilitating sleepiness comes and goes too.
At the moment i am doing the GUPTA programme. I will keep you posted if it helps.I also started the Perrin Technique with a chiropractor and im hoping it will help. Im so ill every single day and im so fed up.
Hang on in there, we will get better. Xx
