POTS TREATMENT WITHOUT THE WAIT
In the United States, it’s estimated that 1 to 3 million Americans live with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, a common form of dysautonomia.
With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing a major increase in POTS cases as many with Long COVID meet the diagnostic criteria for POTS or other forms of dysautonomia.
RTHM connects patients to treatment options from home.
Understanding POTS
While the exact cause remains uncertain, several potential factors contribute to POTS: hereditary factors, underlying health conditions, viral illness or trauma, autoimmune disorders, toxic exposure, chronic fatigue syndrome, demographics (more common in women aged 15 to 50), anemia, and now commonly seen with Long COVID.
Treatment Options for POTS
RTHM provides prescription access to a variety of medications for Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS and MCAS
Pyridostigmine
Pyridostigmine improves autonomic function, particularly in patients experiencing dysautonomia.
Propranolol
A beta-blocker that helps manage symptoms related to dysautonomia, such as elevated heart rate and anxiety.
Midodrine
By constricting blood vessels and increasing blood pressure, midodrine reduces dizziness and improves daily functioning.
Ivabradine
Lowers heart rate without affecting blood pressure, making it ideal for patients with autonomic issues like postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
