is this normal for women? I’ve been dealing with suspected Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) for a while now, and one of the worst parts is how I feel in the morning. As soon as I sit up in bed, I get hit with dizziness, racing heart, and sometimes nausea. It feels like my body just can’t adjust to being upright after sleeping.
I’ve noticed a lot of women with POTS symptoms report the same thing—mornings being the hardest time of day. I’m wondering if it has something to do with hormones or dehydration overnight. I try drinking water before getting up, but the symptoms still come back most days. Has anyone found a routine that actually helps reduce morning dizziness? pots in women
