I was wondering if anyone has experienced arm weakness and fatigue when tired, or just upon waking. It makes it difficult to do fine motor tasks. It's starting to get more frequent and was curious if this was related to POTS.

      My arms can get tired. I sometimes get help doing my hair or doing something that involves reaching above my head because they get too tired and weak at a certain point.

      yup. Hypersomnia is what I deal with. It’s a hard diagnosis.

        @kateafranklin I'll have to look into that, thanks

Yes, some people with POTS have experienced arm weakness and fatigue when tired or upon waking, making it difficult to perform fine motor tasks. One person mentioned that their arms get so heavy that they are scared to drive home, while others have reported difficulty lifting things and experiencing muscle spasms and shaking hands.
