Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You may have a: form of autonomic dysfunction (dysautonomia) called POTS (positional orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.) Your health care professional should be able to diagnose and threat this for you. If not locally try a University center for evaluation.
