Abstract
|
|
|
|
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by increased heart rate with preserved blood pressure on orthostatic stress. Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can be misdiagnosed as neurosis, chronic fatigue or anxiety disorder. We report a patient with POTS who presented chronic dizziness and fatigue. In approaching to a patient with orthostatic or nonspecific chronic dizziness, the postural heart rate as well as blood pressure should be checked not to miss the diagnosis.
