Phil's Health Struggles and Recovery from POTS

Phil's Health Struggles and Recovery from POTS

As most of you know, 2019 was a crazy year for Phil and I as he battled through some undiagnosed health issues. At one point, it got so bad that Phil wasn’t able to go to work anymore, let alone exercise or be part of any social activities. I distinctively remember one day in August where we tried to go for a short walk, and we had to turn around after 15 minutes because Phil was on the verge of fainting. It was the fist time that happened and we both went to sleep that night dumbfounded by the fact that we couldn’t even do the smallest of things anymore. Phil was left grappling with his new reality - a reality in which he went from healthy to unwell practically overnight and had no clue why. It affected e-v-e-r-y aspect of our lives, and it was one of the hardest things he’s every had to go through.
