A member asked:
If you have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (pots)....can it cause shortness of breathe? mild edema in lungs? feeling off balance? help!

Yes: When your heart starts beating fast, many people feel lightheaded and a feeling of panic. A good cardiologist can help you understand this and may tell you to drink alot of water and increase your salt intake.
