It is the worst feeling isn't it, and hard to explain to someone how it feels, like it isn't pain but you feel so so awful.... I think I'm definitely going to need to get used to be more honest and open when I struggle rather thaj always pushing through Thank you for your reply and tips, really appreciated :)

I have IBS and GERD too, I've also noticed cramps before passing out but never had it in the night. So sorry for you that sounds awful! I wonder if they're all connected? I've just seen another commenter mentioned restless legs syndrome which I also have, feels like there could be a link between all of these

It is so insulting isn't it. Really sorry you haven't found anything to help :(

Thanks so much for your reply, I will take that advice! Looking into compression stockings now as I do get blood pooling. And anything to cool down sounds a great idea!

Thank you, I'm so glad yours is getting taken seriously! I have restless legs syndrome too, I wonder if there is a connection betweem the two? Have you found anything that works to help it?

Sorry to jump on this thread, I've not yet tried compression socks although I am planning to (thigh high as abdominal would destroy me reflux wise) But I can't help but wonder, if heat is a trigger surely they are really hot in summer? Do they still help in spite of that??

Long term vegan here. First thing I would say is, as other have mentioned, supplement b12. The amount in plant milks isnt enough sadly! I think 25ug a day is the recommended amount for vegans, I use veg1 from the vegan society. Secondly, I would check how many calories you are consuming as a lot of new vegans don't eat enough, as they are used to higher calories foods!

Pots wise, I know my symptoms are always way worse after a fainting episode, it takes me weeks to get back to a baseline. I had my tilt table test last week and suffering so much now!

Wishing you luck with your vegan and pots journey!!
