POTS syndrome and roller coasters? PLEASE don't answer unless you are in the medical field or suffer from it.?

I suffer from POTS syndrome, google it.
i am going to six flags tomorrow with some friends, and i was wondering what could happen to me if i go on a roller coaster.
I know it seems like a silly question, however there is so much information and so many odd things about POTS i am not sure if it would really hurt me.
keep in mind that on a roller coaster, i am sitting.
thank you.
i need to know by 9 tomorrow morning.

Even though on a roller coaster you are sitting, your body is still changing positions. If it is one that loops, or even has steep drops you may find that you get tachycardia and possibly your blood pressure will drop. So you have the potential to pass out. I would not risk it, and hopefully your friends will care enough about you to be o.k. with it. There are many other things you can have fun doing. Have fun and stay safe!

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Dont risk it, POTs has to do with your nervous system as well, being on a roller coaster can get you all messed up inside and you don't know what kind of reaction you can have.Dont do it.
