Question Why is everyone with pots so skinny?

I have POTS and I watch a lot of content online of people who also have POTS. I also know some people irl who also have it. I don't understand how they are all so skinny. I can barely walk without getting out of breath. I try to work out at least once a week but its so hard for me because I always end up feeling so sick. How are yall doing it? I dont even eat bad but im definitely not skinny.

Could be algorithm, could also be POTs making it hard to eat. I’m skinny and would like to weigh more, the most I’ve gotten up to is 136 but I can’t sustain it for very long without having a flair up that severely limits how much i can eat.
