POTS Disease Solved the Adrenal Connection

By Dr. Jack Herbert

POTS disease is an illness that is as perplexing as it is devastating. Some of the symptoms are:

• Lack of energy and vitality

• Rapid heartbeat and/or fluttering

• Low body temperature

• Poor memory

• Anxiety

• Muscle pain

• Muscle twitching

• Migraine headaches

• Digestive disturbances

• Irritability insomnia

• Shortness of breath

• Episodes of body shaking (tremors) with anxiety

• Stress maladaptation (low physical and mental-emotional stress tolerance)

• Low immune function

• Post-exertional malaise (PEM) (a worsening of symptoms following even minor physical or mental exertion)

• Orthostatic intolerance (symptoms worsen when a person stands upright and improve when the person sits or lies down)

I believe POTS is an endocrine disorder, specifically an adrenal disorder.
