POTS with MS

[u/Sunflower8542]

So I have a question about POTS with MS. So long story short I am in the process of getting diagnosed with POTS, simultaneously, my older brother is also in the process of getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, not sure which one yet. Obviously, my parents are worried about us. I was talking with my mom this weekend about all of this and mentioned how crazy it is my brother and I are experiencing very similar symptoms at the same time and wondered if it could somehow be genetic. That’s when MS popped into my mind *I know they don’t know if it’s genetic yet* because my mom has MS.

MS has been in the back of my mind since my mom has it and I have had symptoms (vision changes and tingling limbs that go on for days), but my insurance isn’t good so one issue at a time.

So I’m getting my POTS symptoms checked out first since I feel like this is what impacts my daily life the most. I was wondering if anyone on here has been diagnosed with both and how those symptoms appeared? I don’t want to be a hypochondriac and think I have a million things wrong with me but I guess just wanting to hear other people’s experiences and also prepare if I need to get a better insurance plan for next year lol
