cordila Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Has anyone noticed an exacerbation of symptoms after a fall and/or car crash or other jarring physical experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhjd Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Basically anything that causes additional stress to your body- certainly a car crash counts!- can cause an episode. I defintely did notice this the last time I was rear-ended- also, every time I get a cold, lose sleep, or whatever else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Burschman Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I know a woman who seemed to develop fibromyalgia after a car crash. It's not exactly the same thing as POTS, but people with FMS also tend to have a lot of autonomic problems. I tend to feel worse the more stressed out I am, whether it's physical stress or mental stress. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Stress can cause me to go from relatively unsymptomatic, to having multiple POTS symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdqm Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I was in a car accident on 2/13/06 that has caused my NCS to go into overdrive. I am expecting my power wheelchair this month and have been in a manual wheelchair since July of 2006 because of it. i did get therapy and chiropratic care for 4 months, but i am getting increasingly worse instead of better. from the accident i have a bulging disk, and my SI joint is messed up making everything worse.

Ernie Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi,Any physical stress I get increases my symptom. Even going to the ER increases my symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
