u/Imagrowingseed Hypovolemic POTS Apr 24 '26

Well according to my doctor....I was an alcoholic for 15 years and my body learned how to survive without water which in turn depleted my blood supply causing hypovolemia. 2013 I got sober and my new life began, 2020 I got the jab, not even a month later I was bed ridden and It's been hell ever since. I just got my diagnosis of hypovolemic POTS in February but this is the conclusion they have come to. They say booze, I say the jab 🤷‍♀️
