All in Your Head? POTS and the Diagnosis Doctors Miss
Dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, and a racing heart are often brushed off as anxiety or stress. But sometimes there’s a real reason behind these symptoms: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Dr. Wendy talks with pediatric autonomic specialist Dr. Jeff Boris about POTS, an often-missed nervous system condition. We explain what POTS looks like, how it’s diagnosed, why it can show up after viral infections like COVID, and treatments that help kids feel better.
