Number one is stomach problems, if you are not hungry and always nauseous you don\u2019t want to eat which means that you\u2019re putting less food into you already. Number two is that your heart rate is going too fast all of the time and your body is working so hard to keep you standing that it is highly likely you are already burning more calories than the average person just by living your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">My solutions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Small meals help with stomach problems and feeling weak. If you can\u2019t eat, can you drink something? Try to eat healthy as much as you can but it\u2019s fine to substitute a healthy meal that you might not be able to eat with an ice cream sundae every once in a while. It might not have the nutritional value that you need but it will have the calories and taste good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Further Reading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Anjum, Ibrar. \u201cPostural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Its Unusual Presenting Complaints in Women: A Literature Minireview.\u201d <em>NCBI<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5988200\/.\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5988200\/.<\/a> Accessed 2 April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome) Epidemic: Hydration and Nutrition Issues.\u201d <em>Practical Gastro<\/em>, 14 October 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/practicalgastro.com\/2019\/10\/14\/the-pots-postural-tachycardia-syndrome-epidemic-hydration-and-nutrition-issues\/.\">https:\/\/practicalgastro.com\/2019\/10\/14\/the-pots-postural-tachycardia-syndrome-epidemic-hydration-and-nutrition-issues\/.<\/a> Accessed 2 April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome) Epidemic: Hydration and Nutrition Issues.\u201d <em>UVA School of Medicine<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/ginutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/199\/2019\/06\/POTS-June-2019.pdf.\">https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/ginutrition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/199\/2019\/06\/POTS-June-2019.pdf.<\/a> Accessed 2 April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Did you have any luck gaining weight when you struggling?
