"This is the story of three Adelaide women who’ve had their lives turned upside
by a cruel and debilitating illness.
One was a teenage performer touring the country, one a young foreign aid worker
and the other, a school student who is now studying medicine.
The women have POTS, a little-known condition of the autonomic nervous system
which largely affects females of child-bearing age but can be experienced by
men and women of any age.
POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a type of dysautonomia, can
cause fatigue, headache, gut disturbance, dizziness, pain, serious brain fog
and often, a racing heart.
It’s so bad that 25 percent of patients report having to stop work or
education. Yet despite much talk of it in international medical communities,
it’s rarely recognised as a known condition in Australia."
My father got post-Covid POTS and ended up needing a pacemaker.
