By Emily Payne A model has been struck down by a rare condition which means she faints every time she stands up. Chelsey Reynolds, from Witham, Essex, went from living an active life as a trainee nurse and part time model to being permanently confined to a wheelchair in a matter of hours. The 22-year-old suffers from a condition known as Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), which means that every time she stands up, her heart rate speeds up, causing her to pass out. Chelsey's PoTS is so severe that she has had to learn to walk on her knees around the house, and even carries a small stool with her wherever she goes.
