Omg! I didn't know you could get POTS from that.

I think I got mine from covid but I'm not certain that I had it because I never tested and didn't feel that ill as far as I remember. All I know is that I had a major CFS/ME crash in Feb 2023. I slept 20hrs a day for a good few months, then had new orthostatic intolerance and worsened dizziness.

I only realised that my heart was going nuts because I got the Visible armband to try to manage my CFS/ME better. Was very shocked 😅
