October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month. Dysautonomia, also called autonomic dysfunction, is a group of disorders that affect the autonomic nervous system.
Many people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) also have a type of dysautonomia. There are different types of dysautonomia with different symptoms.
People with EDS and HSD most commonly have a form of orthostatic intolerance. “Orthostasis” means to stand upright, so orthostatic intolerance refers to symptoms that occur due to standing up or being upright.
The two most common types of orthostatic intolerance are:
1️⃣ Orthostatic hypotension (OH) — low blood pressure on being upright.
2️⃣ Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) — an abnormal increase in heart rate when standing without a drop in blood pressure.
Symptoms of dysautonomia include:
● Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
● Palpitations (feeling the heart racing or pounding)
● Hypotension (low blood pressure)
● Lightheadedness
● Presyncope (a sense of being about to faint)
● Syncope (fainting)
● Blurred vision
😶🌫️Brain fog (problems with concentration and memory)
● Headaches
● Chest pain
● Shakiness
💤Chronic fatigue
● Exercise intolerance and feeling worse after exercise
● Swelling and/or discoloration of the legs after standing for short periods of time
● Cold, discolored hands and feet
● Temperature dysregulation
🥵Sweating
● Sleep disturbance
● Gastrointestinal issues
● Nausea
🚽Bladder dysfunction

Hurricane survivors in the Southern states need to know that if Trump is elected, this is the last disaster you will get federal aid for. Ending FEMA is literally a key goal of project 2025.
My home was unfortunately damaged, the basement thankfully was the only thing flooded, my family had to evacuate and go to Pawleys. To get to the main interstate normally takes 30 minutes, it took them 3 hours and 30 min. My great Aunts home in Asheville is thankfully okay 🤍
POTS treatments
In order to treat POTS you need to understand what is causing the symptoms.
There are 3 underlying pathophysiological contributors to POTS, I believe all are active in all POTS pts, it’s just which is the predominant one
