Sorry for bringing up such a graphic topic.  The past few times when I have vomited (most recently over the weekend when I tried to take a salt pill), I have gotten a pretty bad nosebleed.  It's almost like the force of the vomiting causes a lot of blood to rush to my head to cause the bloody nose.  Before POTS, I also used to get nosebleeds every once in a while (once every couple of months) in the shower after working out.  I am going to mention it to my doctor at my next appointment. I don't think this is necessarily serious, but it's very scary to see all that blood.  I was just wondering whether anyone else experiences this and whether it could be related to dysautonomia?

Thanks,

Rita

I am a new member to this board. My daughter may have POTS and I would like to talk to someone who has it. Please respond if you see this post

HI

My name is susan. My daughter Abby 11 has recently been diagnosed with POTS. We still have some further work up but it looks like she has POTS. I have been on the internet researching POTS and found this site. I would like to talk to mothers of childen with POTS and children/adults that have had the syndrome.

It has been tough this month Abby out of school and me out of work. Talking to others that have POTS, who they have seen for specialists and what their treatment and prognosis is will help

Thank you
