POTS and Menstrual Cycle: Why Symptoms Flare & How to Feel Better


Listen Later

If your POTS symptoms get worse right before or during your period, more dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, or a racing heart, you’re not imagining it. In this video, I break down the powerful hormonal connection between your menstrual cycle and POTS flare-ups, and share practical, science-backed ways to make each month easier.

We’ll cover:

  • Why hormone shifts make POTS symptoms more intense
  • The common symptom patterns women notice throughout their cycle
  • 5 gentle but effective strategies to reduce monthly flare severity
  • How hydration, nutrition, and nervous system support can help you feel more stable
  • Ways to track your cycle so you can plan for high-symptom days

This is for women who feel blindsided by their cycle every month, and are ready to understand their body better, support their nervous system, and stop feeling like they’re starting over every four weeks.
