POTS is more then just an increase in heart rate when a person stands. POTS is a blood flow problem. When someone with POTS stands up, the blood remains in the lower part of the body causing the blood pressure to drop and the heart to speed up.
You really dont have the symptoms that go along with POTS except for the increase in heart rate which is also a normal occurrence...
