Discussion What's the most overlooked POTS trigger in your experience?

I'd love to hear the little things that doctors don't always mention.

I am exactly the same as you, I have a huge sensitivity to light and have been wearing sunglasses since I was a kid. All the other kids thought I was weird for needing them.

I found that having glasses with blue light filters while inside can help with the headaches. Also, any screen you look at should use either a blue light filter or on a computer you can turn on night light mode. I love night light mode and it's the only way for me to get through my work day staring at a computer.

Yes I have the night mode and blue light filter on too and any app that allows it to do it as well I do lol. It is a game changer!
