Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition where the heart rate increases significantly when moving from lying down to standing up, causing symptoms like lightheadedness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat. It mainly affects women between the ages of 15 to 50 and can be triggered by factors such as pregnancy, major surgery, trauma, or viral illness. POTS can make it difficult for individuals to exercise due to dizziness or fainting spells. Learn more about the symptoms, causes, and coping strategies for POTS.
