Before HyperPOTS, I was an Intensive Care, Trauma ICU, and Cardiovascular ICU registered nurse for about 15 years. Before that, I worked as an EMT for about 8 years in prehospital care and ski patrol. I was used to emergencies, monitors, medications, crashing patients, long shifts, and high pressure. I was also used to movement. I ran marathons. I trained for triathlons.

That is one of the hardest truths about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, known as POTS. For many patients, a flare can feel like the body has lost its ability to regulate the most basic functions: heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, blood volume, digestion, and the simple act of standing upright.

Lightheadedness, spinning, ear pressure, nausea, sound sensitivity, fatigue, and brain fog can all show up in the same week, sometimes in the same day.
