Dysautonomia can disrupt functions the body usually regulates automatically, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature ❤️‍🩹 Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one form of dysautonomia, not another name for all of it. With POTS, standing in line, taking a hot shower, or concentrating on a conversation can become difficult. The impact can extend to school, work, and everyday plans, even when someone appears well. For Dysautonomia Awareness Month, let's make understanding go beyond recognizing the name. Ask what support would help. Respect the need to sit down or change plans. Support should not depend on someone looking unwell ❤️‍🩹 Share this with someone who may need it or save it for a future appointment.

It can disrupt the regulation of blood pressure, digestion, temperature, sweating, and other automatic functions. That helps explain why symptoms in different parts of the body can be connected ❤️‍🩹 Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one form of dysautonomia (not another name for every form). The impact can extend to school, work, and everyday activities, even when someone looks well. For Dysautonomia Awareness Month, let’s make dysautonomia easier to explain and its impact harder to overlook ❤️‍🩹 Share this with someone who may need it or save it for a future appointment.

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis combined 19 studies involving 8,268 people with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The combined estimate suggested that more than half had at least one digestive symptom. Nausea was the most common, followed by bloating, abdominal pain and fullness after meals. The review also examined conditions reported alongside POTS, including irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, chronic fatigue, mast cell activation syndrome and joint hypermobility syndrome. Results varied widely between studies, and many accompanying diagnoses were patient-reported. These findings describe associations, not proof that POTS caused the digestive symptoms or other conditions. October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month. Understanding the symptoms reported beyond heart rate is part of that awareness ❤️‍🩹 Source: Kulin D, Shah A, Fairlie T, et al. Neurogastroenterology & Motility. 2026;38(4):e70305.
