[Do you know if you are hypermobile
I didnt know for many years after getting CRPS
When I started fainting it could happen up to 25 times a day and I was having convulsions. I had to wait until I was 16 to see a cardiologist as my PM didnt think it was linked
The cardiologist diagnosed me with POTS and said its quite common in people with Hypermobility or Ehlers Danlos
Testing has confirmed it all and its all linked into autonomic dysfunction
Knowing what the problem was and most days I can stop the faints with a few simple compression exercises or sitting, pacing and watchin how I stand.... basically POTS means your heart rate and blood pressure has a problem catching up with you when you change posture
Hope this helps and maybe mention it to your MD
