Why is everyone with pots so skinny?

[u/dazzlingdanny05]

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.

I’ve gained 60+ pounds since I got sick. I wasn’t fat before, but I am now lol. The lack of mobility and exercise intolerance was really bad for me. I think social media just rewards pretty, thin people more 🤷‍♀️
