Grace Bundy dealt with unexplainable fainting and seizures for more than a decade before she learned she had POTS and epilepsy.
Updated on Aug 13, 2024 at 7:15 PMGrace Bundy, 28, has a unique relationship with the floor. Growing up naturally tall and bendy , she was enrolled by her parents in competitive gymnastics. She spent countless hours bending her body to the floor's demands in order to defy gravity and land impressive tricks. But at 13, her relationship with the floor changed."I just started having these issues with fainting upon standing," she tells PS.
Grace's reaction to it all?"I remember being mad first," she tells PS. She found herself particularly angry at the doctors she saw in college who didn't take her symptoms of POTS or epilepsy seriously. But eventually, that anger turned into relief, she says. Ultimately, having these diagnoses meant she could"find other people who have the same thing" and better"navigate life, now that I know what's going on.
