This month is Dysautonomia Awareness month, POTS is a form of Dysautonomia. To explain this photo- I had to wear a holter/heart rate monitor for the entire month of February this year to give my cardiologist as much data as I could about my symptoms. This way they could pinpoint a diagnosis. Unfortunately, it didn't help as much as they thought it would but it ruled a few things out in the diagnosis process. I took this photo to show my close friends and family what it looked like and also the discomfort of wearing it. So I thought this would be the perfect photo to spread awareness, it gets your attention. Women are 5 times more likely to develop a Dysautonomia Disorder. There is no cure for Dysautonomia. Most importantly it is not rare, it is just unknown. Please share and help spread Dysautonomia awareness.
