What Causes Head Rush, Heart Races, Constipation With Back And Chest Pain?
Hi, last Christmas I feinted for the first time in my life. It felt like I got a head rush as it happened, and I was bending over, and my doctor told my I had POTs. My blood pressure has always been lower than most people, normally 120/68 and when I make a movement, like standing up from my couch I get a head rush and my heart races. Lately I ve been constipated, since Christmas. My back aches and its getting worse, I ve also been having some chest pains when I lay down.

yes the diagnosis is correct of POTS.
but the underlying cause is to be identified leading to POTS.
it could be from a simple form following a viral infection to lose of body fluids to low sodium to an autoimmune disorder.
correction could be based on the cause.
ur back aches r non related to this.
I can help u only if u I have more details.
go to a specialist physician to pin point ur cause if symptoms persist. some needs treatment some don't.
May God guide u
