Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Answers for Dizziness, Fatigue, and Blood Flow

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic disorder that causes rapid heart rate, lightheadedness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and related symptoms when moving from lying or sitting to standing. These symptoms often occur because blood pools in the leg veins rather than being returned efficiently to the heart and brain.

While POTS is not life-threatening, it can significantly disrupt daily life. Our vein specialists identify circulation issues and provide treatment strategies to improve symptom control and quality of life.

How POTS Affects Circulation

When a healthy person stands, blood vessels and leg muscles contract to keep blood moving upward and prevent pooling. In people with POTS, this response is less effective. Our vein experts assess blood flow issues and develop targeted care strategies to ease symptoms and support daily function.

After my pregnancies, I developed painful varicose veins that kept me up at night and made everyday activities harder. Dr. Cornwell and his team were wonderful! Every appointment was on time, they explained everything clearly, and my treatments were painless. Within a week, my swelling went down, my legs looked and felt fantastic, and I finally had the confidence to keep doing the sports and activities I love.

Seeing the ultrasound and treatments happen right before my eyes was amazing, and my pain and swelling improved immediately after my first procedure.” Dr. Hassan explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable, and now I recommend him to everyone—I even keep his business cards to share!

For nearly 30 years, I thought my varicose veins were just cosmetic, until what I thought was a bruise on my ankle turned into a bleeding venous ulcer. When I finally got to Center for Vein Restoration, I could barely walk, but after treatment, I was back on my feet with full weight on my leg.” Closing my business and flying for care wasn’t easy, but it was worth it, and I’m more than pleased with the results.

When even my father, who can barely see, noticed the bulging vein on my leg, I knew it was time to do something. Finding Dr. Shah online was a blessing! The whole process, from scheduling to treatment, was seamless and stress-free. After two painless procedures, my legs feel and look amazing, and I can’t say enough about the five-star care I received from Dr. Shah and his team.

By 10 a.m. every day, I couldn't just walk. My legs were in terrible pain; tingling, burning, and itching so badly I was scratching them raw. Dr. Attaran treated me with ablation, phlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. Now, I can work long days, stay on my feet, and enjoy life again—my legs look great, but more importantly, they no longer hold me back.

I was miserable. My legs looked ugly, I couldn’t wear what I wanted, and when pain hit deep in my pelvis, I was terrified it was cancer. Dr. Deol was so kind and patient, treating me as a whole person and making me feel safe. Today, my pain is gone, my legs feel amazing, and I can finally enjoy life again; walking the zoo, climbing stairs, even spending a day at an amusement park without feeling like I’m dragging cement blocks.
