Yes, the anxiety makes the POTS worse and vice versa. Also not getting enough sleep or having a weird sleep schedule really affects me

Yes definitely, my anxiety is a huge trigger for my symptoms. Some days it makes it hard to get out of bed.

Definitely. I tend to have anxiety attacks or panic attacks when I’m having a POTS flare, it can happen the other way around too.

I notice that if I’m anxious my symptoms will be significantly worse even if im doing something that normally doesn’t trigger anything.
