yuliya Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have been having shivering and goosebumps out of no where. I'm not cold and have no fever. Anyone else have it with hyper pots or regular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brye Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Midodrine can cause similar symptoms. Do you take Midodrine? That's one of the side effects I've noticed.Brye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsyturvy Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have hypovolemic POTS and am going to test for hyper POTS soon. I get shivering and goose bumps a lot! I can shiver and have goose bumps and be sweating profusely all at the same time too! It is so weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 6 months before my POTS hit full-force, I spent my whole summer with goosebumps, and it was 95F, so definitely not from being cold!! A little embarrassing to add, but at the same time my nipples were "erect" also, like I was cold, and obviously I was not. I had to go buy a thicker bra to hide it, as it was really embarrassing out in public. I ended up doing a couple of home pregnancy stuff due to that, as I had only had that happen when pregnant. Of course, I was not pregnant. I kind of just blew it off, as it didn't really affect me except it was odd. Then, 6 months later, BAM! POTS hit. I then went through what I call head goosebumps off/on for about a year. Looking back, I think my body was that whole time was producing whatever our natural "midodrine" is. It must have been doing something to keep my blood pressure up, like midodrine does. After a while, it quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloutinks Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not sure what type of pots I have but I get shivers and jaw chatters for no reason. I also get circular patches of goosebumps rather than all over me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm1960 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I have these same symptoms, but thought of them as a neurological thing. That tingly rush running down one side or both from my head to my feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuliya Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 glad I'm not the only one. I do not take midodrine, have tried it in the past and had the weird feeling in my head. I guess its just one more way our bodies freak out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
