Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
What It Is
POTS is a form of dysautonomia — a disorder of the autonomic nervous system — where your heart rate spikes abnormally when you go from lying down to standing. It can affect circulation, digestion, energy levels, and cognitive function, and is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
Common Symptoms
- Lightheadedness or dizziness when standing
- Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
- Fatigue and energy crashes
- Brain fog and trouble focusing
- Nausea, bloating, or other digestive issues
- Anxiety, shakiness, or cold sweats
- Exercise or heat intolerance
Our Approach
We evaluate the full nervous system — not just the heart. Using advanced tools like the Cognuro LOOK & STAND Evaluation, we assess how your brain, eyes, and vestibular system coordinate under stress.
Our POTS care plan typically includes:
NeuroRESET brain rehabilitation
Vagal nerve stimulation
Breath and heart rate regulation
Visual/vestibular training
Gentle movement and spinal decompression (if needed)
What to Expect
Patients often start noticing improvements in dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive clarity within 1–2 weeks of starting care. Most complete their individualized program in 3–6 months.
