POTS can be a complicated chronic disease that is life changing. This pin is to raise awareness of this illness. This 'So Tachy' Pin is a commentary on the Tachycardia symptoms of POTS, and is to raise awareness of this illness. ✨💖✨💕 Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can be a life altering and debilitating chronic health condition. Simply standing up can be a challenge for people with PoTS as their body is unable to adjust to gravity. POTS is characterised by orthostatic intolerance (the development of symptoms when upright that are relieved by lying down). Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, palpitations, sweating, nausea, fainting and dizziness and are associated with an increase in heart rate from the lying to upright position of greater than 30 beats per minute, or a heart rate of greater than 120 beats per minute within 10 minutes of standing. (From http://www.potsuk.org/) Made from metal enamel. Please note that colours may look slightly different due to monitor settings. As someone who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses, I wanted to create pins that would reflect the chronically ill as the brave warriors we are. Wear with pride, whatever your illness or disability. The processing time is specified under the 'shipping' section.
