A member asked:
Every time it is hot or humid, i get very hot and panicky which leads to lightheaded and feeling like i will pass out. i do have vasovagal disorder and inappropriate sinus tachycardia with low blood pressure. is my anxiety making the heat worse?

It is not your anxiety but heat likely causes vasodilatation which can exacerbate the symptoms of POTS then in turn worsening the anxiety. So heat makes the anxiety/panic worse not vice versa.
