Comprehensive POTS Treatment

Patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) face extraordinary challenges. Not only is this condition often misdiagnosed, but follow-up care and treatment can also be hard to find. The POTS program at Johns Hopkins — which has one of the few POTS centers in the U.S. — is dedicated to treating adults and children with POTS.

POTS is real

POTS symptoms are not “all in your head.” It is a real condition that affects teens and adults and can be diagnosed via specific tests.

POTS is a chronic illness
