That is what I was going to say. I have very severe blood pooling according

to testing at NIH that measured it. I know on the tilt table testing when I was

first diagnosed with POTS, they asked me about my hands or feet feeling

wierd. My hands felt wierd and that was the blood pooling too. My legs felt it

some

but I had syncope or presyncope so I wasn't focusing on my feet by that

point, sorry!

Do you have POTS?

Hi ,

How are you doing???

Can you please explain this??? What does POTS mean? Also what do you

mean by your hands and feet feeling weird? With presyncope, do you

mean that you almost fainted? You got me interested here... I do have

quite a bit of dizziness and do have funny things happening with

hands and feet, so...
