A member asked:
Deconditioning and pots the same? cause vs effect? (postural ortho. tacchy. syndrome) will slow and careful reconditioning be valid either way?

No POTS and: deconditioning are NOT the same....the former is a disorder of the nervous system which contracts the peripheral vessels when upright position is assumed thus causing a drop in blood pressure and a corresponding increase in heart rate! A rapid heart rate is however sometimes due to deconditioning and slow careful exercise will help! Exerciseis USEFUL in pattients with POTS but not "curative"! Dr Z
