Recognizing P.O.T.S.

February 17, 2021 by


For people dealing with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or P.O.T.S., sometimes the most challenging part can be getting the diagnosis. This condition is sometimes referred to as the most common condition you’ve never heard of, though its prevalence does not diminish the frustration of those who suffer from it.

What is P.O.T.S.?

Recognizing P.O.T.S. for what it is can be problematic primarily because of the way the symptoms present themselves. Nearly 80% of P.O.T.S. patients are women of various ages, though the condition begins to show in young women roughly half of the time.

POTS occurs when a person’s blood circulation fails to function correctly due to a dysfunction in the brain and spinal cord. Our body’s circulatory system, the way blood flows through the body, is controlled by both the central and peripheral nervous system. The brain maintains its own blood supply naturally and manages the blood required by all the other organs of the body simultaneously.

So, while the brain maintains a considerable part of the blood circulation, your nervous system is responsible for determining which parts of the body need blood at the right time. If someone is at the gym, running on a treadmill, it will determine that the blood flow to the legs needs to be strong enough to keep up with the task at hand.

When the nervous system can’t maintain that person’s blood circulation properly, that is when P.O.T.S. occurs. Due to the brain and other organs not receiving the blood flow they require to work when they need to, it results in lethargy and exhaustion.

Diagnosing P.O.T.S.

As mentioned above, P.O.T.S. is sometimes challenging to diagnose for individuals as tiredness and dizziness are generic enough symptoms that many people don’t immediately assume P.O.T.S. is the culprit. This uncertainty is why many patients carry the syndrome for years without recognizing it for what it is.

If someone is uncertain about whether they are suffering from P.O.T.S., the best course of action is to speak with their doctor about their symptoms. P.O.T.S. treatment in Roswell GA is accessible but requires an examination to determine the cause.

Treating P.O.T.S. often begins with treating the symptoms but should not stop there. Proper treatment of this syndrome involves treating the disorders in the brain and nervous system to ensure the patient’s health. Chiropractic Neurologists will review the brain in detail and study how the dysfunction affects different parts of the body to confirm the right diagnosis.

Treatments include many different kinds of therapies and exams, and every treatment will cater to the needs of the individual. Regardless of what your plans are for the future, receiving P.O.T.S. treatment in Roswell GA  will help you overcome this syndrome to live the life you plan to. The symptoms of P.O.T.S. are tricky to see on your own, so remember that if you feel that these symptoms may align with yours, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance and help.

You can contact our office for an examination or a free consult.

    I have had vertigo for the past 2 years and have seen several specialists. I had to stop driving and was unable to work. GCNC helped me get my life back, I can drive again and I am back to work. Thank you!

    Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center diagnosed and resolved my vertigo issue. I was able to get immediate relief from dizziness on the first visit, with no drugs or side effects. I was able to drive myself to work, sleep comfortably in my bed, instead of a recliner and get back to my daily activities. The staff is super knowledgeable and professional. They are the real deal. I'm grateful that they have restored my health.

    I recently experienced excruciating neck pain after a long day of travel. I contacted the Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center as I had heard they do incredible work. My case is fairly complicated as I broke my neck 10 years ago and I’m fused at 3 levels with plates and screws etc. The GCNC is a state of the art facility and the staff are top notch and friendly. After two treatments I was pain free and remain so after several weeks. As a former extreme athlete I have seen my fair share of specialists all over the world. The GCNC is the best I’ve ever been treated by.

    "The whole workforce at Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center is amazing. They have gone out of their way to treat me, as I came from the UK, and have been incredibly kind and dedicated during the process. I have been treated for over 10 years by various different chiropractors, but nothing has worked for me, until now. I couldn't recommend Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center enough."
