@unshaken_with_jules: There’s been a lot of misinformation on here lately about POTS and its connection to non-epileptic seizures. So, I made this video to share my own experience and show what a convulsive fainting episode can look like because it’s often not what people expect, and it can be easy to confuse with a seizure, even though they’re vastly different. POTS does NOT cause seizures of any kind. However, they CAN co-occur if there is a secondary seizure-disorder present. I’m not trying to call anyone out or start drama. I just want to raise awareness so people going through this can get the right information and support to get properly diagnosed and treated. If you’re looking for a solid, science-based explanation of how POTS and non-epileptic seizures can be related, I highly recommend checking out @mind.body.problem’s video. They do an amazing job breaking it all down. #chronicillness #invisibleillness #hiddendisabilities #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #POTS #dysautonomia #convulsivesyncope #syncope #fainting #nonepilepticseizure #functionalneurologicaldisorder #fnd #pnes #epilepsy #educational #fyp #fypシ
Is the difference between this and a seizure the postictal state? Obviously a seizure has tests and stuff but I'm too scared to ask. I have medically suspected POTS and I convulse so much it's so scary but sometimes it feels seizure like and I have the postictal state. I . need to know if I should be scared for my life or not

however those of us with POTS and epilepsy or other types of seizure disorder like me, a POTS flare can most certainly trigger a seizure. it's important to know the difference! thank you for helping educate!!!

Hi there! I have POTS and hEDS. Is it possible to have these types of myoclonic jerks while still conscious? I’ve had episodes like this while still conscious. I rarely ever lose full consciousness from my POTS but can get very close, my hearing and vision will go away but I still feel like I’m conscious ?

My convulsive syncope episodes look extremely similar to yours, especially the eyelid fluttering. I went to an epileptoligist and they ruled out seizures (epileptic and PNES) which was a huge relief 🩵

This is what my daughter experiences with pots. I have never been able to get a video of her doing this. Thank you for posting and sharing 💕 The first time I witnessed it I thought it was a seizure. It happened in front of her Dr and she confirmed it was not a seizure.

@Renee Kimball | Author: Has anyone had a 4+ day flare that is so awful you can’t even turn your head or roll over without getting dizzy and nauseous? Blood pressure tanked to 80/40 all four days? Can’t even stand at all? Is this my POTS or do I need to go to the terrible ER (they do nothing and send me home worse than I arrived). Anyone tell me I’ll come out of this? :(. I’ve pounded sodium and electrolytes and water 🤷🏼♀️. Help!
