Patients who have Hyperadrenergic P.O.T.S. experience a gradual and progressive onset of symptoms as opposed to an abrupt onset. Hyperadrenergic P.O.T.S. patients experience significant tremors and sweating in the extremities when standing. Over half of these patients suffer from migraines and many have the need to urinate more frequently than normal whenever they are standing even if only for a short period of time. The main difference between this form of P.O.T.S. and other forms, is that in addition to orthostatic tachycardia (rapid heart rate when standing), patients with Hyperadrenergic P.O.T.S. often display orthostatic hypertension (high blood pressure when standing). Patients with this form of P.O.T.S. also react differently to certain medications than patients with Partial Dysautonomic P.O.T.S.
