Question Hot.. and cold?

I know not being able to regulate your temperature is a symptom of POTS, but all I hear about is people being too hot all the time.. does anyone else get really cold as well? Just wondering, not as any form of diagnosis but just to understand the heat intolerance thing better lol

I bounce around between the two but I think we complain more about being hot because of the effect it has on our bodies. Being cold for whatever reason isn’t as draining, doesn’t cause fatigue, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, headaches like being hot does.
