Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that affects blood flow regulation and heart rate. Individuals with POTS often experience symptoms when moving from a seated or lying position to standing, which can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
At CardioVascular Health Clinic, we provide comprehensive evaluations for patients experiencing symptoms that may be related to POTS. Our goal is to determine whether POTS or another cardiovascular condition may be contributing to your symptoms and provide guidance for the next steps in your care.
POTS symptoms can vary from person to person and may include:
Because these symptoms can overlap with other cardiovascular and medical conditions, a thorough evaluation is important to establish an accurate diagnosis.
Our team performs a comprehensive assessment that may include:
Following your evaluation, we will provide a summary of our findings, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations for ongoing care.
CardioVascular Health Clinic's role in POTS care is focused on evaluation and diagnosis.
After your diagnostic assessment is complete, we will provide you with documentation of your results and recommendations. Patients requiring ongoing POTS management—including medication adjustments, symptom monitoring, and long-term follow-up—should establish care with their primary care provider or a specialist experienced in dysautonomia and POTS management.
Our team can provide copies of your records and coordinate communication with the healthcare provider of your choice to support continuity of care.
While long-term POTS management is not provided through our clinic, we continue to care for patients with traditional cardiovascular conditions, including:
If a cardiac condition is identified during your evaluation, our providers will discuss appropriate treatment and follow-up recommendations.
Many patients spend months or years searching for answers regarding symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, and fainting episodes. A thorough cardiovascular evaluation can help identify whether POTS may be contributing to these symptoms and provide a clearer path toward appropriate care.
If you are experiencing symptoms that may be related to POTS, CardioVascular Health Clinic can provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and help guide you toward the most appropriate next steps for your healthcare needs.
