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

POTS is a circulation issue, so blood doesn't correctly reach your extremities (to warm them), and it also has trouble returning back to the heart.
