Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

October 18, 2016
By Anonymous

Its part of my everyday kingdom.
Passing out?
No doubt.
Having a heart rate of 25 beats a minute,
means having the rapid response team called on me to try to win it.
Seems to never get better,
Even when I start to feel like a feather.
Like a feather, you ask?
Before I pass out this whole sensation goes through my body,
Making me feel weightless.
Then BOOM
I hit the floor and come back to.
Time to call mom again.
This is what it's like to live with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
