Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

POTS means: positional orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. That means your heart rate increases when you stand up! The cause is your disease. Autonomic dysfunction. You need to establish with an experienced health care provider as the treatment needs to be individualized and is not cut and dry. Electrophysiologists are specially trained and experienced with this. Seek one out.
