Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome isn’t anxiety, it’s a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, where the body struggles to regulate heart rate and blood flow properly. The racing heart, dizziness, and overwhelming fatigue aren’t “in your head”; they’re real, physiological responses.
Understanding this difference matters, because mislabeling it as anxiety can delay proper care and support. Awareness isn’t just knowledge, it’s validation for those living with it every day.
