Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) indicates an increase in heart rate while standing from sitting or lying position. At least 30 beats per minute increase with a change in blood pressure. Symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, headaches, and nausea. It can be easily managed with medicines and certain measures to control heart rate such as the following.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications for your condition.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
