Study proves that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome may be an autoimmune disorder
The symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, can be as varied as they are confounding. There can be fatigue, pain, bleeding disorders and anxiety.
Heart palpitations and lightheadedness are common. Some patients experience gastrointestinal issues or brain fog. For the most severely affected, the simple act of standing up can send them crumpling into unconsciousness.
Though likely much more common than once thought, POTS remains something of a mystery. Many physicians have never heard of it. There s no lab test to confirm a diagnosis and no treatment to cure the condition.
