General POTS Paper -Overview, Symptoms, Meds, Differential Diagnosis, Sub-types


Recommended Posts

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!
