1/5 Happy 7th 🌟#PoTSAwarenessDay🌟 Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) can be a life altering and debilitating health condition. #PoTS is an abnormality of the autonomic nervous system, which controls all bodily functions that we don’t have to think about. Individuals experience orthostatic intolerance, which means that they mostly experience symptoms when in an upright position. The majority of people with PoTS also have other related medical conditions such as hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, allergies, Long Covid and ME/CFS- all of which can make symptoms worse.
