What causes PoTS?
PoTS, or postural tachycardia syndrome, is often triggered by an infection, trauma, or pregnancy. It causes the autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic bodily functions like heart rate and blood pressure, to malfunction. This leads to symptoms like dizziness and fatigue, which Fidji Simo, OpenAI's former AGI deployment chief, is experiencing.
