Tilted: A Medical Memoir of Dysautonomia and Other Horizontal Pursuits

From the sarcastic mind of a physician who also lives with dysautonomia comes a brutally honest, sharply funny, and medically detailed survival guide for the functionally horizontal. This isn’t your average wellness book. It’s a tactical playbook for the medically gaslit, the chronically Tilted, and anyone who’s ever fainted in a grocery store and been told to “drink more water.” Combining firsthand patient experience with clinical insight, Dr. Khalid Saeed, D.O. unpacks the chaos of dysautonomia—POTS, OH, NCS, and beyond—with science, sarcasm, and salt. Inside, you’ll find: Symptom-by-symptom breakdowns that actually make sense; Evidence-based management strategies with real-world hacks; Snarky guides to testing, flares, dating, travel, and more; A compassionate, rebellious voice that finally gets it. If your nervous system is misfiring and the world doesn’t believe you, welcome to the revolution. You're not alone. You're adaptive. You're TILTED. Dr. Khalid Saeed, D.O., is a physician and patient living with dysautonomia. He writes with sharp humor and clinical insight to empower others navigating chronic illness, misdiagnosis, and the daily chaos of autonomic dysfunction.
