So my POTS has graduated to the point I now pass out during panic and anxiety attacks or when I get spooked. Its like I hyperventilate for five seconds then drop and when I come too it feels I have been hit by a bus. Was wondering if anyone else deals with this. My SNS is so sensitive someone tossing an object to me when Im not prepared almost gets me to faint.

      This is a common response to extreme anxiety, and not necessarily caused by POTS. There are adrenal issues that can cause this too.

      I donā€™t pass out but I do lose my vision and hearing going into presyncope for the same reason. Itā€™s super scary which I know isnā€™t helpful but I hope it makes you feel a little less alone šŸ¤—
