having POTS is so embarrassing. my friends threw me a surprise party, and instead of getting to be excited or say thank you, i passed the fuck out in front of everyone because i was hot and they startled me

i’ve never fainted! i was first diagnosed with POTS, but tbh i think i have some other type of dysautonomia. i haven’t started reading it yet, but check out the book “the dysautonomia project” - it’s kinda cool, it lists things both for providers (more medical speak and stuff) and for patients

it doesn’t always involve fainting! the diagnostic criteria is based on changes in heart rate, usually a sustained increase in heart rate of 30bpm+, or over 120bpm, within 10 minutes of standing up. it also includes symptoms like lightheadedness, tremor, weakness, vision changes, and fatigue that kick up when you stand up and are relieved by lying down. in my case, i just stood up from a car ride home from work, it was 90° outside so i was already feeling bad, and then my heart rate increased -

- more by getting started which sealed the deal for me. things like heat, stress, lack of salt or proper hydration, or even just bad sleep can make you more prone to symptoms.

Okay thank you! I do genuinely experience some of these symptoms and I have a lot of health issues, but I am also a little bit of a hypochondriac so I’m always worried I’m overreacting
