Olivia’s Story

(Excerpt from Stryker, 2024)

I have noticed my vocal range has changed a lot since I got POTS. I’m not sure whether that’s just aging or whether that was a POTS symptom. But I feel like my voice range has shrunk a lot. It’s difficult to sing for extended periods of time now, just because it’s extremely taxing on oxygen supply. And obviously with POTS, the oxygen supply has to go to a million other places.
