I've had a really big increase in nausea lately. I'd say about a month or more it been off and on bad. I've also been having a cramping feeling in my lower abdomen. I also had really bad stomach acid coming into my throat yesterday. I'm not near my period so it's not that. I also know I'm not pregnant. I have other symptoms from dysautonomia but this stuff is sorta new. Any ideas of what it could be?

Do you guys find sleeping more during a flare up helps? I genuinely can't tell if it's making it better or worse lol

Does anyone know of a heart rate tracker watch that isn't subscription based and doesn't have all the bells and whistles?? I literally just want something to track my heart rate, I don't need to have it also show my texts, tell me how to exercise, track my location, and have Alexa on it plus I need to pay $80 a year to use anything useful. Does such a thing exist or do I have to just take the loss and buy a fitness tracker?? If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear your experiences with trackers

Autistic peeps, let's talk dysautonomia! The most common seems to be POTS, but there are roughly 15 types of dysautonomia. Personally, I think there is a ton of overlap between symptoms with autistic experiences and the more I think about it the more so many of my common complaints and behaviors are related to this. Common complaints (apart from the obvious heart rate regulation difficulties) I have that I'm wondering if you relate to: -difficulty swallowing, especially medicine or food that aren't soft are painful to swallow. -preferring soft and easy to eat foods -dry eyes and mouth when hydrated -excessive sweating even in winter -coughing in the morning and after meals from access phylum. -mild difficulty regulating body temperature -dizziness and easily car sick bonus question: do you struggle to know what dysautonomia symptoms you lack because of your low interoception?

this past week i’ve been in a small pain flaire in my entire back and have been completely fatigued. most ibuprofens don’t help me at all and the only thing that ever helps is laying down but i can’t lay down most of the time so it makes the pain worse. anyone have any tips or suggestions for what they’ve tried to make the pain and fatigue more tolerable? my body just feels so bad which makes me feel bad mentally too. it’s so exhausting and i never know what to do when i feel like this.

Disorder of Autonomic Nervous System
Hypermobility Syndromes
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Cardiac Dysrhythmias
Having been chronically ill for a decade now, I have always pushed myself to keep up with those around me who are healthy. Starting at age 12 my mantra became 'I can do hard things'. Recently, I have been encouraged by my doctors to work on listening to my body and resting when I need to, but years of that mantra came with automatic guilt if I choose NOT to do hard things. Today is a bad fatigue day and I've been laying down in compression leggings most of it. I am not lazy, I am not a bad person, I am disabled. My body needs extra rest and that is okay. If nothing else, I hope someone else sees this and is reminded that it's okay to give yourself a break. ❤️

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Having my tilt table test tomorrow! Any tips? During today’s physical exam with the laying and standing bp check, my bp dropped 20 points when standing. He said that was interesting because it did not fit the POTS criteria as well having a high heart rate while sitting did not fit the criteria. Any thoughts of what it could be or questions I should ask him tomorrow?

This week, for the first time in my life, I had a doctor look at ALL my symptoms and realize they were almost all connected. I have had swelling issues, cardiac arrhythmia, tachycardia, issues swallowing, fatigue, headaches, the list is long and tedious. But my cardiologist looked at all of it and said to me "Huh, has anyone ever told you it's not your heart that's the problem?". I was incredulous as I've always been told I just shouldn't drink caffeine and try to lose weight. She went on to say that all of the issues I have are regulation issues (other than the hypermobility) and that I actually have dysautonomia. The treatments for the symptoms are the same, but to realize that, at 22 years old I don't actually have multiple different issues, but one overarching disorder is somewhat relieving.
