How would you know if you have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome vs autonomic neuropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
POTS vs. dysauto: In general by history and formal examination by a neurologist trained in autonomic disorders. There are lab tests that can be necessary to sort this out. Pots is classified as dysautonomia but associated with rapid heart rate in upright positions. Many other autonomic problems than that usual if autonomic neuropathy is diagnosed - GI dysmotility, loss of sweating, loss of blood pressure control.
