A member asked:
Can sle cause pots syndrome? i have both. my pots symptoms started when my lupus symptoms developed. my lupus is controlled but pots causes problems

Yes, likely related: POTS is more common in individuals that are anemic, have an autoimmune disorder like lupus, are diabetic, or have had a significant illness like mono, hepatitis, or lyme disease. The actual cause is not known and, unfortunately, it is difficult to treat. Adequate fluids and regular exercise are basid, however.
