A member asked:

Can stress and anxiety cause pots? could paxil (paroxetine) cause it? i just got diagnosed with pots and i'm not sure why i have it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Paxil (paroxetine) : The primary causal mechanisms in pots remain unclear and are likely heterogeneous. Some people develop symptoms in their teenage years during a period of rapid growth and see gradual improvement into their mid-twenties. Others develop pots after a viral or bacterial infection such as mononucleosis, pneumonia, or lyme disease while others develop symptoms after experiencing some sort of trauma suchas a car accident.I recommend that you read up more about it on wikipedia.Com. Type in capital pots and you will be directed to the website that has an excellent up to date review of this poorly understood condition.
