Thank you, Katybug for your response. I totally agree with you and am in the process of finding the underlying cause for the blood pooling issue. How were you diagnosed with EDS? Was there any particular test performed other than the Doppler you had? Also, what kind of doctor are you seeing to treat your POTS?

Are any of you that are having blood pooling issues athletes? I am a competitive runner and this sympton is probably the worse thing I am dealing with pertaining to my POTS. About 200 meters in to my run, my legs start to tingle and then become numb. I also experience painful cramping in my hips and upper portion of my legs. It almost feels like I need a shot of WD40 in my hip joints, they are so tight. My mind is telling my legs to run faster, but they are not capable of running the speed I used to be able to run. I am on Atenolol and Florinef and have tried Midodrine, which is a vasoconstrictor, but nothing seems to help. Please let me know if any of you are experiencing this problem and is there a solution or a fix for it?
