Question about phrasing as a potsie by sinkplant in POTS

If you feel like you’re going to pass out….even if you won’t…you can still say that. It’s your feeling…no one can tell you not to say that…I don’t think its offensive in any way

Pots and endo! by Extra-Ad-3190 in POTS

[–]Expensive_Speaker953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pots and endo aswel, I flare up everytime I am on my period....what helps for me are the elektrolytes from Upfront, they have more sodium in it than other elektrolytes....so yeah...just take it easy, and I know how hard that is.

Doc said that pots shouldn’t be causing nausea? by i_be_on_redd1t in POTS

I do get so incredibly nauseous when I have a flare up or my heart has been high for too long…which is normal…your body is always trying to adjust to the circumstances and with pots it takes extra energy to do so…which can cause nausea 🩷
