POTS is chronic: Ortho static intolerance is defined as the development of symptoms which occur when standing and relieved with lying down. This can acutely because of dehydration or abnormalities in heart rate and the central nervous system. POTS syndrome is a type of central nervous system disorder that causes chronic ortho static intolerance.
