A 28-year-old woman in the United States, who describes herself as being "allergic to gravity", has revealed that she spends 23 hours in bed, faints up to 10 times a day and can't stand for more than three minutes without passing out. Lyndsi Johnson, a former aviation diesel mechanic for the US Navy, claims she suffers from one of the world's least understood illenesses, which sometimes even forces her to sit with her legs crossed in order to stop feeling sick.
According to the Independent, Ms Johnson said that she started suffering from abdominal and back pain in 2015. Over the years, her symptoms worsened to the point that she started projectile vomiting and fainting up to 10 times a day.
After years of going back and forth to the doctors, the 28-year-old was then diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) in February 2022 - a condition that creates reduced blood volume and an abnormal increase in heart rate when a person stands or sits up.
