When a person gets up from a seated or laying posture, they may experience a set of symptoms known as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The main symptom of postural orthostatic hypotension (POTS) is a rapid and severe rise in heart rate (tachycardia) that happens shortly after standing up.
In particular, orthostatic tachycardia occurs when, in the absence of other causes (such as acute dehydration, prolonged bed rest, or medication side effects), the heart rate increases within 10 minutes of standing up by 30 bpm or more in adults (or 40 bpm or more in adolescents).
Lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting or near-fainting, blurred vision, palpitations, exhaustion, exercise intolerance, headaches, and tachycardia upon standing are among symptoms commonly experienced by individuals with POTS.
These symptoms can last a long time and have a major effect on how you live your life and how good you feel overall.
POTS can manifest on its own or as a comorbidity with other diseases or health issues, including diabetes, autoimmune disorders, neurological disorders, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or a host of others.
Although the precise reason behind POTS remains a mystery, it is believed to be associated with issues within the autonomic nerve system, which regulates involuntary biological processes including digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Improving quality of life and reducing symptoms are the goals of treatment for POTS.
Drugs to treat underlying causes of POTS or to increase blood volume may be part of the treatment plan, along with behavioral changes (such as consuming more fluids and salt), physical therapy, and symptom-controlling drugs (such as beta-blockers or vasoconstrictors).
This book is an invaluable resource for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. Dr. Londyn Delaney's authoritative yet compassionate approach empowers readers to take control of their health, offering a path to improved quality of life through mindful eating and nutrition.
