im finding more and more people with lyme and co. have syncope or pots or both. it may be good to document this especially if you are seeking disability.
if you feel dizzy, faint or feel like your heart is racing when you stand you may have one or both of these conditions. a tilt table test can tell you.
anyway, check out this website and chat room if you want info or to talk to others to compare symptoms

I got that sometimes as a kid when I had a bug or something (WAY "pre-Lyme"...in the early '60s.) I'd stand up & my heart would race, but not before I almost fainted.
By the way, "POTS"- in the radio, telephone & electronics worlds- stands for "Plain Old Telephone Service" (as in a "POTS codec"- an audio encoder that is used with a regular telephone line to send HiFi sound) We could use more of these POTS... & less cellphones!

Thanks for the website Blackcat. I've been looking for such a site even though my POTS is Lyme related.
I have the type they talk about on there, the "hyperadranergic" type.
I guess thats why I'm so uncomfortable all of the time as everything is going all of the time on top of my Herxing.
