Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic autonomic disorder characterized by a rapid increase in heart rate upon standing with stable blood pressure. This ailment can sometimes be burdensome, making it difficult for people to engage in daily activities. It is more common in women, with symptoms usually first occurring during adolescence or adulthood.[1]
People with POTS may also have other conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
