Hi, my name is Rachel. I am 25 years old and for the past 5 years I’ve struggled with being overlooked by doctors due to my anxiety. I was always told my symptoms were due to being severely anxious.. last week I was admitted to UCI health because they actually took me seriously. I am mainly bedbound because whenever I stand up my Heartrate goes up to nearly 200, my blood pressure drops, and I faint. I was in the hospital for 3+ days and a cardiologist diagnosed my with POTS and syncope (passing out). POTS is an auto immune disorder that doesn’t have much research and is hard to diagnose. It could eventually lead to a pacemaker if necessary…But it’s caused me to become severely depressed and I currently don’t have the means to get the proper mobility aids to help me lead a normal life. Any donation or share of this post is extremely appreciated. Thank you all for reading.
