A member asked:
Why do some doctors think that pots is a "fad"? can phycological issues really cause all the problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown cause: There will always be some in any group questioning a disease condition for which there is no firm definition. In fact, POTS may well be caused by several mechanisms. I do not disrespect their skepticism since this is what good medicine should be-questioning the general consensus when it does not make sense. Seewww.dysautonomiainternational.org/page.php?ID=30
