Anyone else experience faintness when they stretch their back?? Everytime I twist my back around or arch it to try to crack it, my vision goes black and I feel like I'm having a POTS episode. Even when I'm sitting down and doing it, it's so strange. Is this a POTS thing or just a me thing?

One user mentioned that stretching is the most common trigger for passing out for them, and another explained that stretching tightens veins and increases blood pressure, which can affect the Vagus nerve and cause fainting in people with POTS or orthostatic hypotension. So, it could be related to POTS, but individual experiences may vary.
