"POTS, (postural, orthostatic, tachycardia syndrome) a form of dysautonomia, is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the system that controls our body's involuntary actions such as: heart rate, pulse, digestion, breathing, etc.. POTS lays dormant until it is triggered by a virus, diabetes, growth spurt, etc... This illness was not studied in most medical schools and as its symptoms are so global, that most kids who have this are either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed, at all. Symptoms can include any of the following: fainting or near fainting, chest pains, dizziness, headache, visual disturbances, insomnia,anxiety, shortness of breath, racing heart, joint pains, lower back pain, neck pain, fatigue, etc... these symptoms can be of varying degrees and can come and go at any time. A drop in blood pressure of 20 or more from laying to standing or a pulse that goes up by more than 30 (tachycardia) can determine whether a person has POTS. In many cases a tilt table test can provide an accurate diagnosis. In terms of awareness, POTS today is what Autism was 15 years ago. Many people who have this syndrome are not believed by their doctors, friends, and even family members. This is because POTS has only been being diagnosed for the past decade( although people have had these symptoms for centuries) and many people have not yet heard of the syndrome. There are very few doctors who specialize in autonomic nervous system dysfunctions, and many have to go to Mayo Clinic, Children's Memorial or other out of state hospitals to find a doctor who can diagnose and treat this disorder. Most doctors who treat this syndrome are cardiologists. POTS is hereditary. It is estimated that 1 in every 100 teenagers has some form of this illness. People can have varying degrees of POTS. Some people who have this can have fully functioning lives, while others are completely debilitated and need to be home schooled. Adults can get POTS, as well.
