PoTS UK was founded by a group of healthcare professionals with PoTS who recognised the need to increase awareness of this condition. We are passionate about educating and supporting patients, family, friends and medical professionals about this widely unrecognised and misdiagnosed condition. We do this by sharing up to date evidence and resources. We also work with healthcare professionals and other charities in the UK and abroad, and advocate for our members by seeking better NHS services, more research, and targeted treatments for people with PoTS.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My friends life has changed with the sudden onset of Postual Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS). 
It is a widely unrecognized and commonly misdiagnosed condition.

PoTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, causing disabling symptoms throughout the body. Some of the many symptoms associated with PoTS are - fainting, dizziness, extreme fatigue, weakness, chest pain, nausea, shortness of breath, palpitations, migraines - and for many sufferers this a debilitating condition. 

Currently, there is no cure, and little medical awareness of the condition, with few specialist doctors in the UK.

The more funding and awareness PoTS UK receive, the more funds that can be focused towards supporting patients and research into the condition, its causes, treatment and possible cures.
