I don’t think it matters really what our ‘groups of symptoms’ are classified as, what does matter however, is what’s CAUSING them. Like I was at one point, I suppose many visitors to this website have no diagnosis whatsoever. POTS, does seem to be a common consequence of the likely ‘Cause’, that Dr Driscoll has proposed.
Just for the record, I wondered if POTS was a phase that you either went ‘through’, or went ‘in and out of’ because now (some 8 years down the line since POTS reared it’s ugly head) I notice that, even though I still cannot stand up for long, my heart no longer races to 30 beats more when I stand. My blood pressure doesn’t drop however, instead it continues to rise, so maybe I’m not true POTS anymore, more Neurally Mediated Hypertension (NMH) now? Maybe this raised blood pressure is just another mechanism that the human body recruits to try and deal with the difficult situation it finds itself in.
I’m curious that you say you HAD POTS but don’t have it now, what makes you say you don’t have it now?
