Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
What is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?
POTS is a fast heart rate (tachycardia) that starts after you stand up. This can suddenly happen as long as 10 minutes after you stand.
With POTS, the body does not control blood pressure or heart rate as it should after you stand up. So for a brief time, you may not get enough blood to your brain. This can make you feel dizzy and lightheaded. You might faint. Sitting or lying down helps you feel better.
For many people with POTS, fatigue and other symptoms may make it hard to keep up with daily living.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Lightheadedness after standing from lying position describes postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), caused by blood pressure drop with raised heart rate.
