Summit Neuro

Conditions We Treat

POTS

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can make standing up feel dizzying and draining as the body struggles to regulate circulation.

What it is

POTS is a form of dysautonomia where the heart rate rises sharply when moving from lying or sitting to standing, often with dizziness and fatigue. Many people find that symptoms build up over the course of the day.

It reflects difficulty regulating circulation and the autonomic nervous system. When blood flow does not adjust smoothly to a change in position, the body works harder to keep up.

Signs you might notice

  • Rapid heartbeat on standing
  • Lightheadedness or near-fainting
  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Shakiness
  • Symptoms worse with heat or after meals

How Summit Neuro helps

Our advanced neuro-functional exam looks at how your autonomic, visual, and balance systems are working together. Using objective eye-tracking and VNG testing, along with vestibular and autonomic assessment, we measure how these systems are actually performing and turn that into clear data.

From there we build a personalized, brain-based rehabilitation plan that retrains the specific pathways involved in circulation and autonomic regulation. We re-test along the way so progress is something you can see, not just feel.

If dizziness and fatigue on standing are getting in the way of daily life, an evaluation can help identify what needs targeted support.
