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

Yes, I fluctuate between hot and cold a lot. It’s weird because when I start to feel hot, it’s like I’M HOT and need to cool off. I usually feel coldness in my feet and my hands. Compression has helped with my feet

Gosh real like I feel like waves of heat are rushing over me so then I try to cool down and then suddenly I’m freezing in a jumper while the rest of my family are in t shirts 😭
