So my pots waxed and waned over the years. Sometimes I don't have it for weeks or months. Been on buhner protocol 2 months now and nothing bt past 3 day when I go to stand up from lying down it's like massive head pressure rather than a headache or head pain. Also with lots of dizziness when I stand bt I feel the head pressure worse. I've heard babesia can cause head pressure like this. It's like something pushing or squeezing the whole top of my head down like a heavy weight it isn't painful though. Would I have pots symptoms (head pressure dizzy when standing only or constantly with babesia?)

It's pretty much impossible to say whether Babesia is the root of your POTS. It can happen with all the tick-borne infections, post-viral syndromes, Ehlers-Danlos, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other conditions. The head pressure when you stand up sounds like a very typical sensation for someone with POTS. Makes sense that it would be worse if you are treating with antimicrobials and herxing. Is your POTS flaring in other ways right now, with the elevate heart rate with standing? That's the easiest way to tell for me, although the head pressure is a pretty good giveaway, too.

Sometimes it's fast heartbeat with standing typical pots other times it's just a head pressure sensation when standing and dizzy . I was exposed to mold few days ago too maybe that's a possibility as well
