....Diagnose Support

There is often a family history of this disorder. Research indicates that Hyperadrenergic P.O.T.S. may be caused by a single genetic mutation. This in turn leads to a sequence of events that present themselves as the symptoms of Hyperadrenergic P.O.T.S.

Many patients develop P.O.T.S. following pregnancy, surgery, a virus or infection. Some other triggers of P.O.T.S. include adverse reactions to medications or immunisations, or exposure to toxic chemicals.

Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome has recently been recognised as a trigger of P.O.T.S. and there is strong evidence to suggest links between P.O.T.S. and Hypermobility Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalopathy, which are being researched.
