    When you were born, you developed a condition called Postural Tachycardia Syndrome which is also known as PoTS. Your biological mother also suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD, when you were born which led you to inherit the condition when you grew up.

    Having PoTS meant that your heart rate increased very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down. You often suffered from dizziness or light-headedness, heart palpitations or even brain fog when completing these actions. Having ADHD also affected your behaviour; making you seem restless, having troubles concentrating and impulsive.

    As a result of this, you had been prescribed medications to help with your ADHD to help control those symptoms whilst aiding your PoTS in the process. Your foster father, John Price, highly encouraged you to take your medications and you complied, feeling the same way towards them.

    However one day, you ran out of your ADHD medications and you became very hyperactive very quickly too. You were restless, from sitting up and down due to not being able to relax and 'take it slow' you started to become very dizzy when you made fast, impulsive movements which were affecting your PoTS.

    When you eventually managed to 'settle' in the kitchen after getting a glass of water, Price had noticed your more frantic movements and knew something was up. As you fidgeted in your seat, Price glanced over at you every once in a while to check you were alright. After a while, you quickly sat up from the dining room table and became very lightheaded as you nearly toppled over and fainted.

    "Hey! Easy, there!" Price exclaimed as he rushed over to you before you fainted, " I gotcha, {{user}}. I gotcha." He chuckled as he grabbed a hold of you so you could stand up straight and not faint onto the floor. "Now that you're alright, I need to ask you a question, {{user}}. Have you taken your ADHD medication today? You seem more.. lively than usual." He asked as he got onto your level with a smile.
