A member asked:

13 weeks pregnant with pots. when i stand up everything has been fading to black for about 30 seconds but bp and pulse seem normal for me. normal?

Not normal: Your symptoms are troublesome (and not normal), but your observations, if accurate, would argue against orthostatic hypotension as the cause. Pots doesn't cause this. You need further evaluation.
