Ever notice your heart racing when you stand up? ❤️🫀 A brief jump in heart rate is completely normal, sometimes even 30–40 beats per minute! But if that increase stays elevated, especially with dizziness, lightheadedness, or palpitations, it could be a sign of something called POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). The key difference is whether your heart rate quickly settles down or remains abnormally elevated. #POTS #HeartHealth #MedicalEducation #DrJoeMD

“It’s Supposed to Do That” #wait. Sources- PMID 32974246 @Alayna on TT Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is a condition that affects how the nervous system regulates blood flow when you change positions. The hallmark symptom is a dramatic and rapid increase in heart rate within minutes of standing up from a sitting or lying position. Because blood tends to pool in the lower body instead of circulating efficiently back up to the brain, people with POTS frequently experience sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, heart palpitations, and sometimes fainting or near-fainting. Beyond these immediate upright symptoms, POTS often causes a wide range of daily challenges that affect the entire body. Many individuals experience severe fatigue, trouble concentrating or "brain fog," shortness of breath, shakiness, and nausea. Simple activities like standing in a queue, taking a hot shower, or doing light exercise can feel exhausting, though the uncomfortable symptoms typically ease once the person lies back down. #pots #teen #dizzy

Honestly this one isn’t even hypermobility specific, the regular clam just generally sucks for a lot of people and the Lock Clam is a MUCH better option. That said, if you’re hypermobile then there’s a decent chance that the TFL muscle causes some problems for you, and this is the muscle that tends to get overworked in the regular clam. So I’d say this is useful for everyone, but especially useful if you’re hypermobile. 🚨 Although as usual - the disclaimer that applies is that this exercise won’t work for every hypermobile person! If it doesn’t work for you, there are other options available. Here are some cues & tips I like for this one: 💪🏼 Hug the ground so your hips point into the floor 💪🏼 Brace properly through your mid section and upper body to prevent movement (you can even do some ab work as pre-activations to help feel these muscles lock in) 💪🏼 Move your knee only, not the rest of your body 💪🏼 Just move a small distance with your knee - range of motion is not the goal And possibly most important for us… 💪🏼 Keep the reps low if you need! Think about doing really high quality reps instead of banging out a tonne of them - when I do this exercise, sometimes I’ll just do 5 a side and leave it at that ——- This exercise was devised by a brilliant man - Andrew Lock - who I had the honour of knowing and working with. Unfortunately Andrew passed away not too long ago, but his legacy lives on through the work he did and the lives he improved. #heds #pots #mcas #audhd #hypermobility

What is POTS? ❤️🩹 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia that affects how the autonomic nervous system regulates the body when upright. It can cause a significant increase in heart rate when standing, along with symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, brain fog, shakiness, and sometimes fainting. POTS is so much more than “just getting dizzy when you stand up.” Symptoms can affect everyday life in ways others may never see. Let’s keep spreading awareness and understanding. 🫶#medicaltiktok #learningontiktok #pots #fyp #chronicillness
