Perhaps;best to quit: POTS is a poorly understood diagnosis. It is generally accepted as being a consequence of damage to the autonomic neurons (nerve cells) which regulate blood pressure & heart rate. Alcohol is known to cause neuropathy, or nerve damage. In different people, it damages different organs & nerves first. Regardless, it can worsen symptoms by dehydration. www.dysautonomiainternational.org/page.php?ID=44
