All in Your Head? POTS: 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.    Find Jeffrey Boris, MD and learn more about POTS  Download the POTS Exercise program at dysautonomiainternational.org    Send your questions to [email protected] or message me online here.  Find products from the show on the shop page.   *As an Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases.    More from The Pediatrician Next Door:    Website: Pediatrician Next Door Podcast  Instagram: @the_pediatrician_next_door  Facebook: facebook.com/wendy.l.hunter.75  TikTok: @drwendyhunter  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drwendyhunter    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
