Jon6945 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Wondering if anyone here had respiratory infection directly before their Dysautonomia symptoms started? If so, do you feel this was the trigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneymom Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 My son had walking pneumonia 9 months before he was diagnosied with POTS. However he also had many ear infections and strep infections when he was younger that may have also contributed to his POTS diagnosis. In research, viral and bacteria infections have been known to happen before POTS appears in teenagers and adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lejones1 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I had a bad cold that turned into bronchitis when I got POTS. I actually had mono 2 years before and everything wasn't quite "right" after that, but it didn't really get in the way of my normal life. During the bronchitis, it was like a switch flipped and boom I had horrible POTS, weird nerve issues, etc. I know it wasn't the virus itself - almost everyone at my office got it and it was just a normal cold - I guess it was just my immune response?
