After sharing my story on an international website last week someone suggested I check out Dysautonomia. Whilst none of the common types of Dysautonomia seemed to match what I'm experiencing, a less common type (Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia) does. In fact my heart beats so fast it even wakes me up in the middle of the night. Then to confuse the situation, over the last few days I've been having dizzy spells when getting in and out of bed, which is more like POTS. I'm due to see my GP again mid February and all she wants to investigate is a sleep study for why I'm so tired all the time. Its all so frustrating!
Okay - well I am pleased to hear about the company of your dog! Animals can provide such comfort I find.
Your stress management plan sounds like a great idea - mindfulness meditation is a wonderful tool. I've also heard that breathing exercises can be quite beneficial to reducing stress and regulating our nervous systems.
