I had POTS before CoV2 but it has 100% worsened post infection. It’s such a disabling condition, and like many of us with connective tissues disorders, it often comes with other co-conditions like MCAS, Hashimotos/Graves, EDS/hypermobility, etc, and these have all worsened for me :(

Also, good luck getting a diagnosis. It took me months and I was dismissed as having “anxiety” even by the ER. It took an echocardiogram, a heart monitor patch, lots of self advocation, and finally seeing a knowledgeable cardiologist to get my diagnosis. Too often, dsyautonomia gets dismissed :(

No honestly, it’s sad how long it takes for healthcare to realize we are sick sick, not just feeling this way and wanting to go in debt for the fun of it.😔😤
