It is painful reading struggle posts from people who are unmedicated

Despair with POTS is real, but it can also be very treatable. The majority of patients will respond well to either beta blockers or ivabradine (which is now very accessible in the US).

It's so frustrating to see people giving up hope who haven't even tried medication yet. I don't blame them because usually it's the healthcare system that's failed them.

I just hate to see dooming when no serious options have been explored. I'm glad this community generally directs struggling patients to helpful resources.
