@drlorashahine: Your symptoms could be a medical condition you’ve never heard of…until now It may not be “just anxiety” How many women hear that before anyone checks their heart rate? 🫀 POTS is a form of dysautonomia. You stand, blood pools in your legs, your nervous system fails to compensate, and your heart rate spikes to make up the difference. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome The criteria are objective: 📈 HR up ≥30 bpm within 10 minutes of standing 📉 No drop in blood pressure 🗓️ Symptoms for 3+ months, no other explanation ~80% of patients are women, ages 15 to 50. It often follows a viral illness, and many notice premenstrual flares. Gather your own data. Lie down 10 minutes, take your heart rate. Stand, check again at 2, 5, and 10 minutes. Write it down. Numbers are harder to dismiss than symptoms. Average time to diagnosis is measured in years, and most patients are told it’s anxiety first. Your heart racing when you stand is not a panic attack. It’s a vital sign. 👇 Were you told it was anxiety? Educational content. Ask your doctor about your situation. #pots #dysautonomia
