The condition is more common in women - and the symptoms can easily be dismissed and overlooked
This article discusses Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition affecting millions, including Billie Eilish.
The main idea is that POTS can be easily overlooked because its symptoms are subtle and similar to other conditions.
POTS causes a rapid increase in heart rate upon standing, leading to symptoms like:
* Dizziness or lightheadedness
* Noticeable heartbeats (palpitations)
* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath
* Shaking and sweating
* Fainting or near fainting
The condition is more prevalent in women and often worsens in the morning. While there is no cure, POTS can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication.
Early diagnosis is crucial, as it allows for effective management and improves quality of life.
