Debilitating Dizziness: Needing Support

my dizziness has gotten so bad recently. To the point where my boyfriend has basically become my caregiver. He helps me up from sitting and laying down and holds me so I don't pass out, he gets things for me so I don't have to get up and feel dizzy, he takes care of things that I can't do because it makes me dizzy. I have a Dr's appt soon to figure this out, but I need some support. Does anyone else feel this?

You may want to ask about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. See if they'll do a tilt table test. Dizziness from changing positions is the biggest symptom of POTS. ❤️ stay hopeful

thank you ❤️ I had considered POTS but never really looked into it fully. I will definitely talk to my doctor.
