Exploring Exercise Intolerance for People with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
(IRB#: IRB_00145829)
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes uncomfortable symptoms when a person is lying down and sits or stands up. Often, people with this condition suffer from not being able to tolerate exercise. Exercise is the most effective way to treat the condition without taking medication. This study wants to learn more about the effect of exercise on people with POTS to help people with this condition. People in this study will complete surveys and attend 2 in-person study visits at a study clinic. Participation in the study lasts about 3 months. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants.
