How do you differentiate anxiety disorder from pots/inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
POTS/tachycardia: vs. anxiety disorder. First go to a doc to rule out/identify POTS and underlying cardiac conditions. Then see a mental health professional to learn anxiety management skills. One possibility is clinical hypnosis, another is biofeedback. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help too. Peace and good health.
