Synopsis

Living with POTS can make ordinary activities feel unexpectedly difficult. Standing for too long, exercising, concentrating at work or school, getting enough sleep, or simply making it through a busy day may require more planning than it once did.

But a POTS diagnosis does not mean you have to put your goals, relationships, or plans for the future on hold.

Living with POTS is a practical, easy-to-follow guide created for people who want to better understand their symptoms and develop realistic strategies for managing everyday life with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

Written in clear, everyday language, this book takes you from the basics of POTS through practical approaches to symptom management, healthy routines, medical care, physical activity, emotional well-being, and long-term planning.
