The Broken Journey
Years of Uncertainty & Misdiagnosis
The typical delay for a Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) diagnosis is devastating. Patients spend an average of 5 to 7 years seeking answers, with some waiting over a decade. During this time, they see an average of 7 or more different doctors, each visit bringing more frustration than clarity.
Why does this happen? Common misdiagnoses include:
POTS symptoms (dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, rapid heart rate) are non-specific. Combined with low provider awareness, patients are dismissed, told their symptoms are psychological, or left without any diagnosis at all.
Recognizing the Signs
Understanding Your Symptoms
POTS occurs when the autonomic nervous system (which controls automatic body functions like heart rate and blood pressure) doesn't work properly. When you stand up, your heart rate increases excessively (at least 30 beats per minute) without a significant drop in blood pressure.
