Specializes in General Practice

Be aware POTS & MPV: 23yo female having tachycardia & her MD is evaluating. Etiologies to keep in mind, related to her sex & age, are Hyperthyroidism, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, POTS, Mitral Valve Prolapse, MPV & Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, JHS, which is associated with both POTS & MVP. Evaluation for JHS can be provided by an Osteopath, and via criteria provided in the "comments" section below.
