A student with a condition that means she faints “almost every time” she leaves the house has attracted millions of views on TikTok.
Kimberly Rhoades, 25, an English student, has postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and faints if she is slightly stressed, whether at a university lecture or the supermarket. Her videos of herself collapsing, as well as other content like her singing and comedy videos, have garnered her nearly two million followers, with one video having 12 million views.
She hopes her videos help raise awareness for the illness and show other people with invisible conditions that they are more than their disability. Sharing the videos is also how she met her girlfriend, Hannah Stoodley, 24, who also has PoTS.
