Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) & Other Dysautonomias

Have you been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Orthostatic Hypotension (OH), or another dysautonomia? Did you start experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness on standing, a racing heart, headaches, exercise intolerance, and/or digestive troubles after catching COVID? I work with clients experiencing dysautonomia to better manage their symptoms through nutrition & lifestyle changes.

​

I began learning more about POTS & other dysautonomias in 2022 after several of my clients at the time were diagnosed or experiencing symptoms. I soon discovered that lifestyle management of POTS is so much more than just hydration & sodium! I work with clients to help them better understand their condition and navigate their specific constellation of symptoms and triggers so they can have a more functional life.

Common Symptoms of Orthostatic Intolerance Include:

  • Lightheadedness

  • Fainting

  • Fatigue

  • Brain Fog

  • Difficulty finding words

  • Short-term memory loss

  • Sensory hypersensitivities (e.g. light, sound, motion, touch)

  • Paresthesias (pins & needles)

  • Numbness of hands & feet

  • Headaches

  • Exercise intolerance

  • Heat intolerance

  • Temperature dysregulation

  • Flushing

  • Abdominal pain

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Constipation

  • Diarrhea

  • Gastroparesis

  • Palpitations

  • Chest pain

  • Difficulty Breathing

  • Anxiety or Depression
