Katybug Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi Everyone, This paper is a really good overview of POTS from diagnosis to treatments. There is also a table (table 2) that is a nice breakout of the major treatments, although there might be more current treatment available as well. It seems fairly thorough. I thought this might help some members understand their POTS better or be a good resource to give to docs who want a better understanding. Happy reading! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501099/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
