Feeling out of breath really quickly and feeling like your brain starts malfunctioning (lack of oxygen when standing)

Heat intolerance and for me, high blood pressure not low

Tummy issues, joint pain, heat intolerance, and overall just so much fatigue. Like yes fatigue is a well known symptom, but I didn’t realize how much my heart working extra all the time was making me tired till I got meds that helped

OP 2w

The second I get even a little bit too warm I start feeling lightheaded, I either get too sweaty or none at all, flares up all my other chronic pain. I’m more prone to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, have to carry around instant ice packs to stick under my arms/neck. Like, kinda sick if it’s too hot

For me it’s just increased POTS symptoms and I also struggle to speak if I’m standing or walking in the heat
