1000 Lb Sisters: Amanda Finally Gets Answers After Months Of Medical Uncertainty!

1000 Lb Sisters star Amanda opened up about the diagnosis that took months to come and confirm what’s wrong with her health. She spent a lot of time searching for concrete answers from her doctors. She could tell her symptoms to fans, but couldn’t prove them. The TLC star showed them her heart monitor that doctors recommended her to carry after cardiac arrest.

Amanda shocked her fans with her slimdown. She once hit a plateau in her weight loss journey. But she got back into a healthy routine, shedding many pounds. Fans told her that her weight loss took off the charm from her face. As she posted a picture of her son and grandson, she looked very weak and pale. What did the diagnosis have for Amanda? Is it something worrying?

1000 Lb Sisters: Is Amanda Continuing To Have Heart Palpitations?

Amanda has shared her shocking discovery about her body. A year ago, the 1000 Lb Sisters star began experiencing heart palpitations. As she spoke to her doctors, she was asked to track her heart activities via her heart monitor. She said she observed that her health took the worst turn after the COVID-19 pandemic. Somehow, she didn’t feel like her normal self.

When Amanda would sit down, her heart rate would spike. With her undergoing weight loss surgery twice, she understood that her heart rate had abnormally increased over time. Even standing made the heart rate go up. She explained that her feet didn’t get enough oxygen. Her blood might be hitting her brain, causing her to pass out alongside heart palpitations. She also felt dizzy. After calling her doctor, she said she was saved.

1000 Lb Sisters: Amanda Is Diagnosed With This Disease!

Several fans of Amanda were worried about her skinny version, as she had never looked so faded. She smiled in pictures, but somewhere she was lost. After four months of waiting, she broke her silence on the diagnosis that everyone asked her for. In the new season of 1000 Lb Sisters, she explained that doctors took time to identify.

Amanda said she was frustrated for a long time. But getting answers from the hospital was relieving. She revealed she has POTS, which stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. As viewers might not be familiar with the health condition, she shed light on it for an in-depth talk.

In the latest episode of the series, Amanda and Tammy headed to a nutrition store to discuss the health challenge with the staff. Amanda told the clerk, “I’ve made lifestyle changes, but I need to do better.” The way Amanda felt about her health was right. She was right when she said the heart rate would skyrocket when she stood or sat.

Dizziness, fainting, anxiety, chest pain, headaches, and bloating are a couple of symptoms that POTS patients have to tackle. On social media, she has already spoken out on most of them. She voiced her concerns about losing weight that didn’t help her in the long run. POTS is a condition that is incurable. “You can not have flare-ups for years, kind of like any other autoimmune issue,” she stated.
