PoTS is real. Your symptoms deserve to be heard 💙

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS or POTS) expert Prof Blair Grubb and colleagues are calling for greater understanding of PoTS among cardiologists.

Their message is important: PoTS symptoms are real, and they should never be dismissed as “just anxiety."

Although there is still much to learn, better understanding means better care, support and hope for people living with PoTS.
