Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You may have a: form of autonomic dysfunction like POTS. Make an appointment with a health care professional for evaluation and examination. Other potential causes include too much caffeine, nicotine or alcohol in your system as well as other (illicit and non illicit) drugs.
