Below is a list of SOME of the related symptoms.
-High Heart Rate Upon Standing -Nausea -Vomiting -Digestive Problems -Fatigue -Insomnia -High Blood Pressure -Low Blood Pressure -Temperature Disturbances -Fast Heartbeat -Visual Disturbances -Slow Heartbeat -Urinary Problems -Chills -Fainting -Near Fainting -Lack of Adequate Oxygen to the Brain -Fogginess -Lightheadedness -Dizziness -Non-Psychologically Induced Anxiety -Need for Extra Sleep -Cold or Heat Intolerance -Confusion -Sleep Disorders -Medication Sensitivity -Sensitivity to Light and Sound -Activity/Exercise Intolerance -Headaches/Migraines -Circulatory Problems -Weakness -Dehydration -Reduced Ability to Walk Long Distances -Lack of Appetite -MUCH MORE!
If you know someone with POTS, ask them about it! POTS is an invisible illness. Please do not judge what you cannot see. Awareness and support is key!
