How do you know if you have #Dysautonomia/#POTS?
1/6 Dysautonomia/POTS is a common concomitant condition in complex #chronicillness. Normally our #autonomicnervoussystem (#ANS) responds to changes in position from lying or sitting to standing.
2/6 Often in chronic illness, the autonomic nervous system does not work properly and a change in position causes the heart rate to increase to compensate for low blood vessel tone (POTS) or the blood pressure decreases upon standing (#orthostatichypotension).
