Diagnosed with POTS… and told it's just anxiety? • Your heart races to 130 just from standing up… • You feel dizzy getting out of bed… • Showers leave you lightheaded and shaky… • You're exhausted no matter how much you sleep… • Brain fog makes simple tasks feel impossible… • Nausea follows you through the day… You've seen cardiologists, neurologists, and GI specialists. You've done blood work, an EKG, and an MRI. Every result comes back “normal.” So they tell you it's ANXIETY. But you know the difference between feeling anxious and your body physically failing you. You've started to doubt yourself. You've watched friends, school, work, and plans slip away while everyone tells you you're fine. Here's what no one has told you… Your symptoms are not in your head. They could be in your neck. The top bone in your spine sits right next to your brainstem, which helps regulate heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and balance. A subtle structural misalignment there may contribute to tightness or a knot at the base of your skull. It can also influence the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and blood flow, which could have a connection to the symptoms no test has explained. Most people with POTS have never had their upper neck checked. If this sounds like you, comment below or call our office for more details 864-285-4058. #reels #pots #dysautonomia #uppercervical
