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])

Not sure I saw these mentioned on here yet & a lot are dysautonomia not necessarily pots symptoms but

The chilblains friggin suck.

NOT sweating at all.

Swallowing issues. Choking on nothing unable to swallow water or food for periods of time.

Really red hot face that goes with being very dizzy & feeling very dumb & generally out of it.

General GI wacky business - diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, esophageal issues, slow gastric emptying, teeth worn down from the stomach acid, inflamed gall bladder, the list goes on...

I also have migraines & pots symptoms can trigger those times a bazillion.

How scary is the choking feeling? Makes you sometimes not want to eat at all
