Well, I won't be taking the corticosteroid for my POTs symptoms again. About 30 minutes after I took just half a dose, my heart started racing and I could feel it pounding, I felt sick to my stomach, I got extremely tired, and my arm muscles got weak/sore. If I'm standing, my heart rate goes into the 120s. Even sitting down, my heart rate is around 100 bpm. Since the med helps you retain sodium, I'll be avoiding that because I don't want my heart rate to get worse. Hopefully, the heart rate issues don't last all day because those are kind of concerning.

I haven't yet, but I might have to cancel my lunch plans which would be disappointing because I haven't seen this friend for awhile.
