Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia and Feeling Hopeless

...See more I was diagnosed with POTS nearly a year ago and wow it has been a wild year. I'm feeling really hopeless. I'm trying my best to live my life the way I can. I work a very physically exhausting job and I'm still in high school but my POTS has taken a lot. It is also very uncontrolled right now. The three medications I'm on aren't doing anything. My blood pressure still drops even though I'm on two meds for it and my heart rate, well, that's a chaotic story. We tried multiple beta-blockers for my heart rate. I reacted badly to them. Now, we are trying something called pyridostigmine (a muscle strengthener????) but I'm again, reacting badly. So, I'm feeling very hopeless. Beta-blockers and the new medication (pyridostigmine) both cause my heart rate to be way too low which causes me to feel weird and like messes with my head or something and it's not good. I'm scared nothing will help. Beta-blockers and the new medication are two completely different medications. Why did I react the same to them? Why won't they help? Why won't the two medications for my blood pressure help? Why do I have to be chronically ill? The one thing that makes me feel a little better is, my biological sister was recently also diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension and she is hypermobile so I'm not alone. I tend to invalidate myself and tell myself I'm making it up but I'm not and I'm not alone.
