The 25-year-old took to TikTok this week to reveal she has postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS—a diagnosis she received among several other suspicions.
“I thought maybe anxiety? asthma? high blood sugar post eating bc I was getting exhausted? depression? hot flashes startin hella early?” she listed off a series of her differential diagnoses in the caption, before revealing what her testing had uncovered.
The gymnast added that she was seated with her salt water and compression socks, dealing with “the worst week ever” following the test, admitting she’s been “a tired weepy mess” and reiterating her request for all of her POTS-suffering followers’ “wacky favorites.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, POTS affects somewhere between one and three million people in the United States alone, primarily women between the ages of 15 and 50. It's a form of orthostatic intolerance that causes a person's heart to beat too fast when moving from sitting or lying down to standing up.
How Do People Treat POTS?
There's no cure for POTS, and its symptoms and treatments vary greatly from person to person, but, according to the Cleveland Clinic, exercise and physical activity and diet and nutrition are the main focuses in symptom management.
There were endless amounts of "hacks" in the Olympian's comments, with many sadly replying, "Welcome to the club!! ?."
"A backpack pickle is KEY! My pickle goes everywhere with me ?," someone else suggested, adding that she should "always double bag" it.
Some focused on more physical relief, with one noting, "Everyone talks about compression socks but a compression SHIRT is a game changer in my opinion."
Halsey, Christina Applegate's daughter Sadie, and Solange Knowles are just a few of the other folks out there dealing with the condition.
