What are the Symptoms of POTS? Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can emerge suddenly or develop gradually over time.

POTS presents with a variety of potential symptoms, which differ among individuals.

Symptoms can include the following:
🔹Dizziness/ lightheadedness upon standing or during prolonged periods of standing in one position
🔹 Fainting or near-fainting
🔹 Forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
🔹 Heart palpitations or a rapid heart rate
🔹 Fatigue or exhaustion
🔹Feelings of nervousness or anxiety
🔹Tremors and excessive sweating
🔹Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
🔹Chest pain
🔹Headaches
🔹Nausea
🔹Bloating

POTS symptoms may exacerbate in specific situations, including:
🔹Exposure to warm environments, such as in a hot bath or shower, or on a hot day
🔹Frequent standing, such as while waiting in line or shopping
🔹Engagement in strenuous exercise
🔹Illness, such as from a cold or infection
🔹Menstruation (having your period)

POTS patients are often misdiagnosed as having anxiety or panic disorder but, their symptoms are real and can severely limit a person's ability to function. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness of POTS.
