Amanda posted a photo with her son and grandson. Although it seemed like a happy photo, the 1000 Lb Sisters fandom noticed Amanda’s lifeless face right away. Fans noticed that even though she was smiling, she did not appear to be happy at all. This concerned fans as they thought the weight loss Amanda went through was wreaking havoc on her body. They were also concerned that the doctors still haven’t figured out the issue with her heart.
Amanda later opened up about her heart issues. She stated she felt her heart would beat out of her chest. In the post, she looked severely weak. Fans know her heart issues were present for five years. But instead of diagnosing and treating her for it, the doctors pushed her to lose weight. Amanda went through bariatric surgery and lost a lot of weight. However, her heart condition remained unchanged.
In the latest episode of 1000 Lb Sisters, fans finally get a clear picture of Amanda’s health. The news comes directly from the source and is credible. In the episode, Amanda explains her condition. She had earlier claimed to feel her heart beating out of her chest, and there were flare-ups. Now, fans know the heart palpitations were the result of POTS.

Amanda explains that POTS is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. In the latest episode, Amanda and Tammy go to the nutritionist, who explains POTS to them. The nutritionist explains that POTS can be felt when one stands or sits down too fast. Amanda shares more about it. She explains that if she stands up too quickly, her heartbeat can be unstable and she might pass out.
Also, the condition cannot be cured; it can only be put into remission, and flare-ups can last for years. Amanda also lists the symptoms – dizziness, fainting, anxiety, chest pain, headaches, and bloating, which are a couple of symptoms that POTS patients have to tackle. The reality star has previously discussed these, including her flare-ups.
In one post, she stated that the flare-up was so bad that she had to be bedridden. Now it turns out POTS is pretty common for people who have undergone bariatric surgery. With all the changes that Amanda went through, weight change and lifestyle change to continue with her healthy life, POTS concerns fans. They are worried about how it will affect Amanda in the long run. For more 1000 Lb Sisters updates, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
