Anyone here have any form of this? I've never spoken to anyone else with this type of stuff before so i was just wondering if anyone else here had it?

I have Orthostatic Hypotension and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

Anyone else?

Those are big names! So, that means... you have weak muscles, that are growing weaker every time you age?

I only heard of it, and know someone who has it.

I know they are xD But not at all. It has nothing to with muscles :P

Orthostatic = When standing up, so like change of position from sitting to standing.
Hypotension = Low blood pressure
Postural = To do with posture
Tachycardia = Fast heart rate

And Dysautonomia just means that my automatic nerve system doesn't control things properly, such as my heart rate and blood pressure :)
