What is POTS? ❤️‍🩹 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia that affects how the autonomic nervous system regulates the body when upright. It can cause a significant increase in heart rate when standing, along with symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, brain fog, shakiness, and sometimes fainting. POTS is so much more than “just getting dizzy when you stand up.” Symptoms can affect everyday life in ways others may never see. Let’s keep spreading awareness and understanding. 🫶#medicaltiktok #learningontiktok #pots #fyp #chronicillness
