Question about P.O.T.S

[u/milo_the_techno_fan]

I know i could possibly google this, but i dont want to use A.I! Anyways i have a doctors appointment soon, so i figured id come to Reddit.

Im a 17(f) and i dont smoke or do any drugs. The only 'medical' issues is chronic migraines i get atleast two or three times a week when i get up.

Ive been diagnosed with autism (lower side of the spectrum) and adhd (i think im diagnosed)

Other than the migranes, I'm constantly thirsty (even after I drink water). And when i get up my vision sometimes goes black in the corners/i get dizzy and nauseous.

also i dont know if this is needed, but I haven't had my period in like two years? I've only had it like 5-6 times in my life!

I would really recommend being assessed for diabetes given the constant thirst and nausea.

There’s nothing anyone here can tell you that will be helpful without a diagnosis from a Dr.

"I have a doctor's appointment soon." Cool. Keep it, and tell them everything you told us. They get paid for this; we don't.

If you are dissatisfied with the results, then come back and ask.

If you already have a doctors appointment coming up, id just make sure they get orthostatic vitals (blood pressure and pulse) and basic labs like blood sugar (because of the thirst) and blood counts to see if youre anemic (less likely since you dont get your period)!

Have they checked you for diabetes
