POTS....


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a form of Dysautonomia. I'm sorry but I had a hard time trying to explain it. Its so confusing and complicated and I don't feel like I even know very much about it. 


In reality I have likely had POTS for years I just now realized that that was what it is though. I hadn't ever fainted before so I hadn't considered it a real possibility. I struggled with hypertension for years and my doctor suspects that that was really POTS symptoms. Now I struggle with fluctuating from hypertension and hypotension. Its a huge show to juggle!
