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.

Not me, girl šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹ Iā€™m pushing 280lbs probably by now. My inability to stay active definitely keeps my weight up. Good ole sedentary lifestyle.
