How is PoTS treated?

Treatments for PoTS focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life, as there's no single cure. This often involves lifestyle changes like increasing fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and regular, gentle exercise. Medications can also be prescribed to help regulate heart rate and blood pressure, helping people like Fidji Simo manage her condition.
