Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) causes heart rate spikes, nausea, inability to concentrate, and sometimes vivid nightmares when the autonomic nervous system fails to regulate blood pressure. It affects roughly 3 million Americans — about 1% of the population — most commonly between ages 15 and 30. Diagnosis often takes up to six years. A simple saline office test can confirm it. Dr. Hartman has been diagnosing POTS in practice for over 20 years.
