Q&A 3: Can Stress Cause POTS? 

I had out of the ordinary stress a few years back and haven't been the same since. The stress was severe and lasted months. I believe I may have developed POTS because of this. No Doc could find anything wrong but my symptoms are very real. I need to get tested.

Stress sure make my POTS worse. Heat, lack of sleep, dieting and exercise.

Thanks for the info. Your video on deconditioning and reconditioning was very helpful.

Thank you for this video! A lot of people in my country(even dysautonomia specialists) often say that your stress is the reason for dysautonomia. And I always wanted to disagree with the statement that "you are sick because of your stress." Because it kinda feels like it is blaming your illness on you. Like you didn't manage your stress well enough and now you're sick because of it. So my question was, "Am I THAT stressed, comparing to other people?" "A lot of people seems more stressful than I am, but why am I the only one?" "I'm a teenager now, and I don't think I'm gonna be less stressful throughout my life. So does that mean I'm going to be sick my whole life?" Well the answer is no, considering that stress is not the only factor, therefore meaning you CAN get better.

Well mine came on after VERY intense stress period. It’s dysautonomia so the nervous system got shot due to an extreme amount of stress and trauma

God she is beautiful 😎🙋
