Hi everyone. I have been suffering will dizziness/fainting/palpitations since July, and have only just seen a specialist yesterday. I was expecting to be told I was fine, as many people at school have been saying that I just have anxiety and are wasting doctors time, but it is actually much worse. I have a problem with my mitral heart valve, though this is relatively minor atm, and severe pots. When they done the active stand test, I almost passed out on the nurse and my heart rate went from 100-160. The cardiologist said that she doesn't want me on medication yet, but I need more tests to see if I have a genetic problem, as my mum is adopted so we don't know what runs on her side of the family. I am honestly so worried with how I am going to cope at school, I have nearly passed out a lot and have done in the toilets a few times, but I didn't want to tell my teacher. I am meant to be leaving 5 minutes early each lesson in case I pass out but the teachers wont let me. This seems so unfair, my other friends do lots of sport out of school, and I used to, but now I can't. the cardiologist seemed shocked I was even going to school. What arrangements can my school help with? I don't think I can cope with school how it is, as the doctor admitted I will probably pass out a lot. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks for reading x
