MaryJo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi Everyone,I have begun to notice a bit of a pattern occurring when I am coming down with a bug and I wondered if anyone else had had the same and if it is a POTS thing. I suddenly start to feel very depressed, I do not normally suffer from depression (if fact I am quite upbeat!) but I descend into a severe depression when I get a fever, and sometimes it is the first sign I am getting a virus. Additionally, I get brain fog where I can't remember things which would normally be so easy for me, and I feel generally agitated.It would make sense if it was a POTS thing since external temperature can affect it so I wondered if an internal rise could cause the same. Thanks,MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi MJ,When I am coming down with something I do find my POTS symptoms are worse in general. I wouldn't say I feel depressed, but I can be more anxious and jumpy, and my brain fog definitely gets worse. I think increase in internal temperature has as much effect on POTS symptoms as does external - maybe more. Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
