Show Notes

Linda's daughter has perhaps had POTS all of her life, but the impact of the illness became more apparent in her teen years. Linda describes the impact of POTS from a parent's perspective, and articulates what many POTS parents are often thinking. Hunting for a practitioner who can help. Emergency department visits during flares. Supporting a child with POTS daily. We are so glad that she shared her journey with us here!
