Thank you for making such an informative video. So many people think that POTS is "all in your head"...a made up disorder, a disorder caused by anxiety. Thank you for providing such a clear explanation is such a professional manner. Credibility is priceless! I will share this with my family and friends.
My heart rate also jumps around, and my blood pressure goes so low when I stand up, that people can see it. My face turns green and white, and we have to 'abort' taking my blood pressure. Or else, I will faint on the floor. I coined the term, "Brittle Dysautonomia" because my dysautonomia is unpredictable, has wide swings in vital signs, and my response to medications has been variable.
Wanted to say I was inspired positively by this video, to make some observations of my own. I purchased a pulse oximeter with 30hr memory that can upload the data to a PC.
I recorded 87.5% oxygen saturation in my sleep for 20+ mins. (Another problem POTS causes, is sleep problems and sleep apnea).
Great video, thanks again. Good to see some Science at work.
God bless you for such an awesome demonstration ! I've been struggling with this life destroying condition for most of my life, but has become devastating in the last 6 years of my life - and only in the last 2 years have we discovered what my illness actually is. Again, very well done and I hope there will be more attention and for this illness to be taken more serious in the medical field. - -- -Blessings !
I have no symptoms of EDS, though I do know a lot of POTS people seem to have both. I have other autoimmune disorders though, in addition to Dysautonomia.

On my TILT test my pulse was 170bpm in 2 mins and they stopped the test, so it's good you mentioned a TILT test as it's a vital diagnostic tool.
