Pots Syndrome

Pots Syndrome

(NaturalNews) Imagine simply standing up and feeling your heart speed up more than 30 beats a minute -- sometimes it races well over 120 beats a minutes. You also have heart palpitations out the blue and low stroke volume (the amount of blood your heart pumps with each blood). Even the amount of blood in your body is too low.
These are the symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) -- dubbed "The Grinch Syndrome" because the majority of patients have a heart that is literally, to use Dr. Seuss' description of the Grinch's heart, "two sizes too small." POTS affects about 500,000 people in the U.S., primarily young women.
And while it isn't life-threatening, it can destroy the quality of a person's life and cause substantial disability by bringing on symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, inability to stand for prolonged periods of time (chronic orthostatic intolerance) and fainting.
