Understanding POTS

POTS is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and digestion. People with POTS often experience symptoms when moving from sitting or lying down to standing. Symptoms and severity can vary from person to person.

If you've been experiencing symptoms that have been difficult to explain or diagnose, our team can help identify the cause and create a personalized care plan.
