POTS and flushing: Episodes of flushing are commonly experienced by some patients with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It has been suggested that these patients may have a mast cell activation disorder. There are specific treatments which may be helpful. Consulting with a medical or cardiovascular physician may be helpful as you learn to manage these conditions.
