Register now at: npao.org/calendar-of-events/pots-the-missing-piece-to-your-case/Presentation objective is to review the diagnosis, symptoms and medical management of POTS or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and the prevalence in practice. Objectives would also include treatment, patient management and expectations for treatment with respect to time frame and symptom improvement.POTS or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a condition that is gaining more notice as many people who contracted COVID but failed to recover, developed POTS. POTS is a condition that falls under the umbrella of dysautonomia. The term dysautonomia is used to describe several different medical conditions that cause a malfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System. Symptoms include: Dizziness, shortness of breath, brain fog, tachycardia, migraines, fatigue, insomnia, flushing, neurological pain, digestive pain, and hypersensitivity. Some symptoms are due to orthostatic cerebral hypoperfusion, but the rest may be more complex.POTS effects the circulatory system, the immune system, the digestive system and the neurological system. There are few tests for POTS, but when a patient is suffering from POTS and is left undiagnosed or untreated, any other conditions they suffer from can’t be treated. POTS is a type of condition that has to be treated first for the successful treatment of the other conditions.Presentation Description:Discuss the mechanisms of POTS as it relates to certain conditions

Discuss the types of POTS, the current medical treatment of POTS, and the expected response from patients with POTS
