Everyone talks about stress like it only affects mental health… but for many with POTS, the body feels it everywhere.
The dizziness. The heart palpitations. The adrenaline surges. The crashes that seem to come out of nowhere. The nausea, shakiness, fatigue, temperature swings… stress can turn symptoms all the way up.
And the hard part? Stress isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it looks like busy schedules, poor sleep, sensory overload, pushing through exhaustion, illness, hormones, or simply trying to keep up with everyday life.
If symptoms seem worse during stressful seasons, there may actually be a reason for it.
