@embracingecho: I still really don’t know what happened. I kind of blacked out before Echo booped me and then passed out?? I have been Daisy’s trainer and assisted Maria in her training. Most of our sessions have been virtual and I never trained her with my own scent. Daisy is clearly a smart girl who knows how to do her job. She caught a scent on me and alerted before Echo did. I was with her while her handler went in for a paramedic job tour. Daisy’s trained for Hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or “POTs” but scientifically that means an extreme increases in HR causing the body to release noepinephrine, epinephrine, and histamine. It’s not trained based on a “specific number” but on the extreme increase itself because THIS is what forces your body to release these chemicals (this could mean normal numbers to very high OR very low to a high normal BPM). The body autonomically can’t process huge changes too quickly. That being said, I have Neurogenic POTs. I never really pass out without some sort of pre syncopal warning and I didn’t feel anything before except maybe some confusion and a intense short wave of hot sweats. Thus, I still don’t know exactly what triggered it but I wanted to show off Maria’s dog (and of course Echo too) because they did a good job trying to think independently in those moments to fix an issue in my body. #MedicalAlertDog #ServiceDog #POTSAwareness #DisabilityAwareness #dogtrainingtips
