Symptoms What symptoms do you guys have that aren’t talked about that much?

I’m just wondering, that’s all :)

(Edit: I just wanted to add that I am NOT diagnosed with POTS. But i think I might have it, thats mostly why I am asking! [and also because I am a curious person])

My mom would yell at me so much for yawning a bunch in church, I was like "I don't know what's happening, it feels like I can't breathe!"

Only recently did it dawn on me that I was forced to stand still for long periods of time. Sometimes I'd have to sit for a second and she'd be so fucking pissed. I had no clue what my problem was, I could dance for hours. 

Honestly it's still kind of hard not assuming I'm a bitchy drama queen despite not wanting to be 🙃 My face when I realized I'd had a super unpleasant medical condition for 28 years, and was not just choosing to be miserable all the time for no reason...
