Summary

80-90% of POTS patients are disabled to some extent — unable to work, go to school, or manage daily life. So why is it still so widely misdiagnosed? Dr Tae Chung, Director of the POTS Program at Johns Hopkins University, breaks down everything you need to know about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome — from diagnosis criteria to the latest treatment research, including his work on Long COVID-related POTS. He covers the full symptom picture — brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and temperature dysregulation — and explains why personalised care is essential when POTS presents alongside other conditions. Emily Kate and Gez also share practical strategies for patients: how to seek a diagnosis, the NASA lean test, hydration and salt protocols, and how to approach exercise safely.
