Clearer context for the protocols people actually follow.

Most people with POTS spend around five years getting diagnosed. In that time they see, on average, about seven different doctors. And a majority are told at some point that their symptoms are psychological.

POTS has been in the news since 2020, and almost always alongside COVID. That has done real good — more clinicians know what it is than did five years ago.

If you've been given an exercise program for POTS, it probably starts with something that sounds too small to matter. Two minutes. Lying down. Three times a week.

ADaPT is a newer POTS rehabilitation approach that replaces fixed timelines with clinician-guided, individualized progression.

Deconditioning can coexist with POTS, but it does not prove inactivity caused the condition — and exercise works best without blame.
