ep.6: my POTS journey — symptoms, seizures, & finding answers

today is the day: i’m finally sharing my full journey with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).in this episode, i break down everything—from what i believe triggered it, to the strange early symptom that stumped every doctor, to the long road to getting diagnosed. i also open up about the emotional side of living with a chronic condition like this.whether you think you might have POTS, have already been diagnosed, or care about someone who has it, i hope this episode helps you feel more informed—and less alone.living with POTS can feel incredibly niche and isolating. my goal with this episode is to make that experience a little more understood🤍topics (with timestamps): 00:56 a huge misconception about POTS07:51 what triggered my POTS 12:13 non-epileptic seizures 18:20 my POTS symptoms  20:31 getting misdiagnosed 23:33 POTS testing + diagnosis 26:47 the emotional side of dr’s appointments28:42 what it felt like getting diagnosed 32:10 my current medical mystery connect with me:🪫⁠tiktok⁠ 🪫⁠instagram⁠ 🪫⁠youtube⁠🪫email me!🪫⁠anonymous form (share your story!)⁠ 🪫⁠guest application (be on the pod!)⁠a little note: if you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review— it helps more people find the show!disclaimer: the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. the host is not a licensed medical professional.always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, supplements, medications, or health routines.
