Fingers locking up a lot lately. Is it part of Dysautonomia?


I was diagnosed with dysautonomia a few weeks ago....POTS to be more specific.  Recently it seems that my joints seem to lock up a lot on my fingers.  I have had it happen to my toes periodically and it is very painful during the time they are locked.  After some crying, they tend to release on their own.  I decided to take a video of my fingers on one occasion, to have a record of what happens when they lock up.  It doesn't happen to all of them, but when it happens, they hurt.  Sometimes I have to pop them out, and sometimes they release on their own.

Is this POTS related or something else?  I'd appreciate any information.

In doing some research I read about something called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and I will speak to my doctor when I see her in a few days.  These episodes are just very annoying, and often painful, also.
