After having COVID a few times, in the Spring of 2022, I started developing a lot of concerning symptoms. I developed severe anxiety out of nowhere, began experiencing panic attacks, chest tightness, heart palpitations, feeling dizzy, etc. I knew something was off. I had so many tests done and everything came back clear. I felt absolutely crazy. I began feeling paranoid and like I couldn't trust any of the doctors that I was seeing because they were all telling me that I was fine and that it was just anxiety, but I knew something more was happening in my body. That's when I started seeing Dr. Pressman. She always took my concerns seriously, made me feel calm, and like I could trust a medical professional again. After seeing her for about a year, in the Summer of 2023, she finally kept digging deeper, and I was diagnosed with POTS. I finally had answers and reasons for why I was feeling the way I was. I learned that POTS is commonly misdiagnosed as anxiety in female patients. I didn't feel crazy anymore, and Dr. Pressman helped me make little lifestyle changes that have made a huge difference in my symptoms. I now feel at peace with my health and like I have the tools to handle any symptoms that come my way. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Pressman!
