My mother shits so hard that it literally STAINS THE TOILET SEAT and i end up being the one cleaning it. She blames her boyfriend and her elderly father WTF DO I DO ABOUT THIS

So I was diagnosed with POTS 4 years ago now, but my blood pressure has completely flipped.

When I was initially diagnosed, I was displaying the normal diagnostic criteria (drop in blood pressure, raise in heart rate). However, recently I’ve found that my flare ups have been paired with high blood pressure, even with the same symptoms.

I’ve seen my doctor and we tracked my pressure for a week but OF COURSE every reading was within normal range.

Is it worth questioning my POTS diagnosis? Or is this something that other people have experienced?

(I will be seeing my doctor about this regardless, but as a young female I tend to be brushed off by doctors so I need some outsider experience)
