I get this too after eating too much. Or drinking too much. I’ve always contributed it to my stomach being to full and pushing up on the diaphragm. It subsides after I start to digest. Pots is usually a brisk increase in heart rate triggered after standing up from a lying position.

I get a racing heart after eating that started about halfway through my pregnancy and has continued even though I’m 18 months postpartum. I have not been able to figure out any reason why even with all my googling. What is POTS?? I’ve seen some thing but now I’m worried I have it. I notice it mostly when I eat a lot of carbs or sugar

@TaylorFroe I think is cause by gassy stomach and acid reflux specially after a big meal but today I saw a video on tiktok where someone said pots can also cause it and freaked me out you should go to the doctor and check just to make sure The symptoms of POTS include but are not limited to lightheadedness (occasionally with fainting), difficulty thinking and concentrating (brain fog), fatigue, intolerance of exercise, headache, blurry vision, palpitations, tremor and nausea.

@TaylorFroe Try to no eat big meal through the day but small one wait 30 minutes then continue to eat more specially if they are greasy food don’t lay down right away after eating your last meal should be 3 hours before bed time to avoid acid reflux try this see if it help I been to the doctor and they don’t think I have it but still scary I was referred for the till table test but I denied because that test is so stressful

anyone else?

does anyone else experience extreme fear of developing psychosis or schizophrenia or derealization. I literally freak myself out so much that it makes me physically sick. I’m so scared of developing these and it keeps coming up all over my TikTok and Google. It’s freaking me out.

Panic

I was scrolling on here and now I’m having a panic attack. Someone posted resources and one of them was a NOCD article and I thought that was so great. I clicked on it because I like learning about this disorder and I love NOCD’s resources. But I read that one of the compulsions for pocd is watching cp? I thought that wasn’t a thing with POCD. I literally cannot breathe because I feel like this thing is now possible and I cant calm down. That was the first time I’ve ever seen that stated as a compulsion. I feel like I’m dying. What triggered my spiral in the first place was months ago someone contacted me and told me they watched it but claimed OCD and I felt absolutely horrified. I deleted my account and removed that person entirely. I am freaking out so bad I really can’t seem to breathe right now
