How to overcome POTS syndrome and brain fog?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. Paroxysmal orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that affects the body's ability to regulate heart rate. POTS is characterized by a rapid increase in heart rate (tachycardia) when standing up, which can cause dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms. The diagnostic criteria for POTS include a heart rate increase of 30 beats per minute or more within ten minutes of standing (or a heart rate greater than 120 beats per minute), symptoms of orthostatic intolerance, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or cognitive impairment, symptoms that last for a minimum of six months, absence of other medical conditions that could cause similar symptoms. To manage POTS at home, I suggest you do lifestyle modifications such as increasing fluid and salt intake, avoiding prolonged standing, and wearing compression stockings to help improve blood flow to the legs. Exercise is also beneficial but should be done gradually and under medical supervision. Avoiding triggers such as heat, caffeine, and alcohol may also help. Drug treatment for POTS may include medications to increase the volume of the blood such as Fludrocortisone (corticosteroid), medications to constrict blood vessels such as Midodrine (vasopressor), and medications to regulate heart rate such as beta-blockers. Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Thanks and regards.
