Not diagnosed with pots yet but I have two docs that think I may have it. No referral to electrophysiologist yet. I was rearended June 2010 and I remember being on the emerg table saying I felt like someone was sticking something in the base of my skull. No fractures, MRI ( c5c6 c6c7 mild right paracentral disc protrusion), CT angio normal, carotid ultrasound-left mid carotid elevated velocities possible mild stenosis. My osteopath seems to think it is the alar and transverse lig are weak. Point is I’ve have this pressure and burning pain at the base of the skull since. Worse when I lay down, and much worse when I wake up. If it is pots, what in your opinion do you think it is?

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
