Understanding POTS in Kids: A Natural, Drug-Free Approach to Supporting Your Child’s Health
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system — the part of the nervous system that automatically regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and blood flow. In POTS, the body doesn’t adjust blood vessel tone and heart rate properly when moving from lying or sitting to standing, causing an excessive rise in heart rate
Does This Sound Like You?
- Dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up
- A racing or pounding heart shortly after standing
- Fainting or near-fainting episodes
- Fatigue that’s disproportionate to activity levels
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating, especially when upright
- Nausea, shakiness, or feeling unwell after standing for a period
- Symptoms that improve when lying down
Spine and Nervous System Health
The nervous system, including the autonomic pathways that regulate heart rate and blood pressure, is closely connected to spinal structure and function. Supporting general spinal health and posture is a reasonable part of overall wellbeing care for people of any age, alongside their medical management.
If you are suffering from POTS and you’re looking for a safe, natural approach to supporting your health, we’re here to help.
