Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing.
POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance, the development of symptoms that come on when standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down. The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat.
There's no cure for POTS, but various things can help with your symptoms. Dr. Lookman Lawal at Southwestern Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in El Paso can help provide relief with POTS. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
