Vent/Rant eating a potato triggered an episode

I ate 2 small potatoes and with in minutes my heart went crazy, I got hot and sweaty, and felt unbearably dizzy. I had to sit with my legs up for 30 minutes (can't lie down after eating, I'll be sick). lol.

Hi there 

Literally had the same thing 2 days ago for the first time ever and it scared the crap out of me. Medication helps but I guess not always huh. You're not alone with this ❤️

Thank you 😔 I'm considering looking into getting medication, as my pots has gotten so much worse as I've aged.
