POTS vs anxiety: See your physician to be evaluated. Your orthostatic vital signs will be measured to help determine whether you have reproducible orthostasis. In the meantime, stay well hydrated and take your time shifting positions. Use relaxation techniques for anxiety. Keep a long of the frequency of these events and take them when you see your physician. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/717904
