See a specialist: POTS is an autonomic dysregulation syndrome. It is caused by a malfunction of the patient's autonomic nervous system. 25% of POTS patients are disabled enough to not be able to work. Specialists in POTS management can suggest a very specific course of action for each individual with POTS based on their specific needs and circumstances. See the Website Dysautonomia International for references.
