Am I lazy or is this another Depression Session™

#ayup#but actually – looks at friend#IT COULD ALSO BE BAD BLOOD PRESSURE

Seriously, if you get tired way more easily than you think you ought to be, or you get up all excited to do things and then need to go lay down, check your blood pressure. Look up “poor man’s tilt table test” for how. Even if the tiredness is your only symptom, it’s worth a try. You basically just take your blood pressure and pulse a few times laying down, then stand up, stay perfectly still, take it a few times again, and compare readings. 

If you physically cannot stay standing upright and perfectly still for several minutes, for any reason including no reason that you can figure out, you need to do this test and research POTS. 

Doctors are all like “hey, your blood pressure isn’t high, so it’s good”, but low is bad too! Take it from me.
