What Kind Of Doctor Do I Need To See?

[Desiree89]

I'm not diagnosed with pots, but I have a lot of the symptoms.

If Im standing, my bpm is like 120-170.

And I have alot more symptoms...

If im going for a dx, what kind of doctor do I need to see?

if I talk to my regular doctor and say I need to see a specialist, what kind of specialist does that indicate?

Thanks for any answer.

Im not giving up!

Sincerely Ida D.

Hi Ida D. So sorry to hear you have not been well. There is a link on DINET (http://www.dinet.org/physicians.htm) which lists some physicians by location. What area do you live in? I'm in the northeast/Philadelphia area and may be able to offer some help if you happen to be around this area.

Take care.

Hi radiohfan23.

I'm living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I if remember correct, the nearest physician is located in Holland/Netherland.

I was thinking of what's the correct name of a specialist that can diagnose POTS? - like a cardiologist that diagnoses heartdisease...

I dont think that my cardiologist have heard about POTS...

Thank you so much for your reply!

A cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology can usually diagnose POTS. Sometimes a regular cardiologist or a neurologist will be knowledgeable in the area of POTS and dysautonomia.

I hope you can find a doctor who can help you.
