POTS

Living with POTS takes planning. A nurse shares daily tips for mornings, heat, showers, standing in line, meals, sleep, school, work and flare days.

POTS treatment usually starts with fluids, salt, compression and slow exercise. A nurse explains each step and the off-label medicines doctors use.

POTS symptoms include a racing heart, dizziness and fatigue when you stand. A nurse explains the stand test, tilt table test and when to call 911.

What is POTS? A nurse explains postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, why your heart races when you stand, who gets it, triggers and the outlook.
