I think is the fainting part. Ive hated it since I first fainted consciously in 2008. It’s like I couldn’t take another step then plop on the ground like a noodle. Since then Ive tried to stay as hydrated as possible, put salt on anything I eat (Was never a salt on foods guy prior), and just try to keep my blood pressure above normal. Tried fludrocicone or whatever you call that medication but it gave me many palpitations.

When I was a kid, I didn’t mind the sun. I didn’t have the symptoms of POTS like I do at 52. But when warmer weather starts creeping up, I get a bit of anxiety. My mind knows that my low blood pressure hates warmer weather, and I get more anxious. Specially in the summer when I have to go out into the heat. When it’s overcast, cloudy or rainy, I don’t have a problem going out.
