I am 18, and had all of those symptoms since I was 14. I was 14 when I first fell to the ground (blacked out). I have blacked out many times...Recently I was diagnosed by a cardiologist that I have POTS. I was on a heart monitor/event monitor for a month before they made the diagnosis. Have POTS made me get severe anxiety, and since I am on anxiety medicine, my doctor won't prescribe me anything to help POTS. One of the side effects of the anxiety medicine I am taking now, helps with POTS.

I am 46 and was recently diagnosed with POTS. I shared this video with my friends to help them understand what I am going through. I received emails thanking me for sharing this. Everytime I watch your video, I cry and thank you at the same time for this helpful video.

I had mono for about a year and was confined to bed for about six months. After i got over the mono i still felt horrible, so we went to so many doctors until one said i had fibromyaltia. Ive been taking meds for that but they havnt worked. Im hoping now if i tell my docs about POTS (which encompasses all my symtoms) they will finally be able to do something about my dizzyness which has put me in a wheelchair at school and so many other places.
@Lev8mysoul and @ncantu2011 Thank you so much! I am so glad this video was so helpful! Hopefully it helped your friends and family understand more about this not very well known illness.
Keep spreading awareness!
