University Center: The best answer is to call the closest medial college and see if they have someone who can help. Also your doctor in boston may have some contacts.

POTS: Check with univ. S.Carolina medical school. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome of dysautonomia, in which a change from supine to an upright position causes an abnormal increase in heart rate with decrease in cerebral blood flow. Can be very debilitating but there are a variety of therapeutic approaches available. If you cannot locate someone, a cardiologist will generally know pots.
