Specializes in Neurology

Yes: if you have a history of pots syndrome, then yes, that is the most likely cause unless there is something different about the symptoms you're having now. If you are still symptomatic, I would speak to your physician about what can be done. Make sure thatbecause of your or the static portia syndrome has been addressed.
