Dealing with Nausea in POTS

Hey there 👋🏼. A little new to the POTS game & could use some insight. I have been so nauseated (like morning sickness nauseated, but not pregnant) off and on for weeks now. I notice it gets worse when I stand. Anyone else with POTS have this?

Can you help? Connect today

Idk if it’s POTS or something else but I deal with so much nausea when my hormones fluctuate during my cycle. I’m about to try a new kind of HBC to see if it helps. I have a hard time eating bc of it 😥

I have POTS and unexplained nausea too! Not sure if they are related though

i have this! i find that nibbling on salty crackers/pretzels helps with the nausea. i also realized i was taking my medications too close together or without enough food, which was definitely messing with my digestive system.

HeyReese

Natti, that sounds just like me. And I realized after I posted this I’m close to my ovulation window, and I get nauseated sometimes with that, so I think it’s a double whammy of hormones + POTS

CaitiBee

Yes @raisedinadish! Meds too close together and/or without food definitely makes a difference.

HeyReese

Thank you all for responding. It sounds like it’s a POTS symptom for some. I know it can cause headaches, and I was getting lots of those too. I got 3L of IV fluids and feel way better now
