Empowering women suffering from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
Supporting Women with POTS
Did you know that Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can qualify as a disability according to the Social Security Administration (SSA)? Approximately 80% of those affected by POTS are women. This condition can significantly impact daily activities, making even simple tasks challenging.
Creating a supportive community for women with POTS is crucial. By leveraging technology and fostering a compassionate environment, we can help women with POTS share their experiences and support each other. This is here to create a safe place for women suffering from POTS.
What is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome?
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, leading to an abnormal increase in heart rate when standing up. It is a form of dysautonomia, which means it involves dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Symptoms of POTS can include dizziness, fainting, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Click ‘Learn More’ for more details!
