    Man, that’s a whole syndrome messing with you. Afaik, nobody has found what causes the body to do it, but everyone I’ve known that deals with it end up so frustrated before they get diagnosed. Hell, even afterwards, because treatment options aren’t exactly great.

    Sorry you’re dealing with all that

      Yeah the diagnosis was POTS way back when. And the treatment is Gatorade and potato chips and small doses of beta blockers to limit the heart rate.

      I guess I didn’t think that it would affect everything related to the autonomic system. Yay, even more surprises.
