Anyone with POTS or who experiences feinting- how do you normally protect yourself or stop yourself from being injured in drop attacks or pre-syncope with collapse? I’ve just been experiencing it a lot more and have injured myself multiple times in going down, on like door entrances, sides of desks, etc. Haven’t fallen down the stairs or anything but just want to know if anyone has any strategies, especially worried about concussion if I fall backwards.

I don't have this issue, in fact, I've never feinted, but I have heard some doctors talk about this. If you feel lightheaded, try and drop to your knees or get low to the ground to limit the impact.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion, it’s just hard when it comes on so sudden and you feel like you lose control of muscles and stuff like that. I’ll try to see if I have time to lower myself in the future.
