Diagnosing POTS: Do You Need a POTS Doctor?

POTS or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can be a difficult thing to diagnose. This is mainly because of the list of symptoms that can point to a variety of other conditions. In some cases, your family doctor will have heard about and recognize POTS as a possible diagnosis, but many physicians still do not recognize POTS as a legitimate condition on its own. 
 
For that reason, if you’re experiencing symptoms like lightheadedness or fainting when you stand up, racing heartbeat when you stand up from sitting or lying down, it can definitely be to your advantage to seek out doctors that specialize in POTS syndrome first to at least rule it out.
 
Better yet, simply call Dysautonomia-MVP Center, LLC in Birmingham, Alabama.  Dr. Paula Moore and Dr. Susan Phillips are widely known as some of the most knowledgeable doctors that diagnose POTS, dysautonomia and related autonomic disorders. If it turns out through POTS testing you don’t have POTS, then at least you can move on to your regular physician with far less worry about being misdiagnosed.
