Overview
Differentiating POTS from Other Disorders
POTS is often confused with vasovagal syncope. Most people with POTS don't feel well when they stand up, but they do not have syncope (pass out). In contrast, patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS) also known as neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) do have syncopal episodes, but feel fine in between episodes. About 30% of patients with POTS also have vasovagal syncope (VVS) also known as neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS).
POTS must also be distinguished from Pure Autonomic Failure
