[__ Prayer __] Prayers for a family friend's daughter

[Luminous_Rose]

One of our family friends daughters (also a friend of ours) has been having some issues with fatigue, dizziness, and sleepiness. At first they thought that dehydration was the case because she goes out in the afternoon and does some intense cardio. However, even with the proper fluids and nutrition, things are getting worse, not better. She goes into the city to see a cardiologist on Thursday and hopefully they'll be able to figure out what's wrong. She's been seeing doctors and so far they're of course not certain until they refer her to the right specialists.

Please pray for peace in their family (a lot of stuff has been going on and it seems like it's one thing after another) and that whatever this is that it will be something simple to remedy. Thank you.

Thank you =) think she stayed home from church tonight as she still isn't doing well. Hopefully they'll have more answers tomorrow.

Update:

Thank you for prayers! With the help of a good cardiologist she has been diagnosed with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). For those of you that don't know what this is, it is a circulatory disorder. The body's blood pressure falls drastically and has a hard time pumping to the heart. Most people go years with this being undiagnosed. She is now doing much better!

 

[Tessa]

Good news that they have diagnosed. Is there a treatment available?

As far as I understand we have treatment (medications) to treat symptoms, but no cure. Although, there are a lot of natural remedies available, but I don't know if they know of these. I have read compression stockings and more salt intake helps.

 

[Tessa]

Yes salt is good for the very low blood pressure.
The stockings must be for circulation?

Right, for circulation =) but it is pretty new stuff to their family so I'm not sure if they've looked into natural remedies as of yet. However, we did see her at the fireworks tonight. She was in a wheelchair because they are afraid of her dizziness causing her to fall. They took her home because she was feeling so bad. It's just not the girl I know...she is an adult, but still...she looked so sad when they were taking her home. She was too dizzy and tired to stay. It's affecting her an awful lot and it'll probably take a while until they tackle this thing.

My daughter used to go dizzy with low blood pressure. Eating bananas made her worse.

Interesting...you would think with banana's and their potassium content and such that it would make it better, not worse. Interesting to know and it does show that not everything will work for every person, too.

Potassium lowers the blood pressure

So glad she has been diagnosed! Praying she will feel better soon.

I must have assumed the opposite.
