Hi ladies. Recently I was taken to hospital for increased heart rate (160bpm) and palpitations. I left with no diagnosis or reason for it and was told by someone to look into POTS and said it was common in women with Endo. Does anyone have POTS and do you think it's related?

Have you looked into hyperthyroidism? That causes rapid heartbeat.

I have POTS and Endometriosis. Although I self advocated for myself.. I was diagnosed with POTS before I nor any of my doctors at the time, thought I could have Endometriosis.

I have both POTS and endo. Did you ever get a diagnosis?

Yes, I have POTS and endometriosis. For me, they developed around the same time. Doctors do believe there is a correlation between the two as many POTS patients have endo, too.
