A member asked:
I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and every time i sit up from the toilet i almost faint, it happens specifically right after i defecate, how can i avoid feeling about to pass out during that circumstance?

Are you drinking plenty of water daily,taking florinef and wearing strong support tights? Try tightening your leg muscles 10-12 times before getting off the toilet. These are measures to prevent POTS flares.
