Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and the GI Tract: A Primer for the Gastroenterologist.

This resource provides an overview of the relationship between Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. It emphasizes the need for gastroenterologists to be aware of POTS due to the frequently reported GI issues in these patients, which include GI dysmotility and various digestive symptoms. It highlights that while a causal link is not established, there is a clear association between POTS and these symptoms. Treatment for GI symptoms in POTS patients is mostly empirical and often improves when general POTS symptoms are managed. For persistent GI issues, further evaluation and tailored dietary and pharmacologic interventions are recommended. The resource also suggests areas for future research into the GI aspects of POTS.
