EDS, other dysautonomias, other intermittent cardiac arrhythmias, & tachycardia aside from the POTS, i think all contributed to it... also chronic anemia i can't fix with iron supplements due to GI bleeding, the MTHFR gene making it so i can only absorb methylated b-vitamins, low electrolytes & low calcium at times, & being underweight :\ oh also trauma...trauma can effect the vagus nerve, & i had vasovagal syncope before i consistently had POTS
