I notice that if I’m anxious my symptoms will be significantly worse even if im doing something that normally doesn’t trigger anything.

Yes, I tend to pass out more due to stress

Definitely. I tend to have anxiety attacks or panic attacks when I’m having a POTS flare, it can happen the other way around too.

Yes definitely, my anxiety is a huge trigger for my symptoms. Some days it makes it hard to get out of bed.

Yes, the anxiety makes the POTS worse and vice versa. Also not getting enough sleep or having a weird sleep schedule really affects me
