galatea Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Does anyone else get severe blood pooling at night? Any ideas about why this happens since I’m lying flat?I always sleep with a bucket of cold water next to me, and have to get up after a couple of hours because of the boiling sensation in my feet- I put them in the water and the blood shoots straight back up again and I can go back to sleep. I think it’s because the blood vessels constrict with the cold. When I asked my POTS specialist about why this happens he just looked confused.

Mermaid Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Galatea, I'm new, just responded to 'anyone else in the UK' post. I also have problems with blood pooling lying or sitting, at least that's what I think it is, hot red hands and feet with huge veins, warmer the weather the bigger the veins. I spend all night making sure they're cool and uncovered. Had a terrible time in the hot weather this summer, shame I used to be a real sun worshipper...
