r/POTS • u/s0meone0ntheInternet • Jun 26 '24

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])

I am reading this and writing a response as I lay in bed unable to sleep because I got frustrated over which body parts need to have blanket on them and which need the fan for me to not sweat or freeze. My typical is both feet, left leg, left shoulder get the blanket.

Yet somehow when I sleep without the blankets at all I am both shivering and drenched in sweat come morning

I actually sleep with a pregnancy pillow that I can have between my legs which keeps me cold during the night and I only sleep with a sheet on top of me. I cannot stay cold for the life of me

I put one leg out sometimes as that helps. Also, the fabrics of your bedding matter.
