I think a lot of people dont realize that POTS if often secondary, which is why they should try to rule out other factors and conditions instead of JUST treating the POTS, because if you fix the root of it, then you wont have to consume excessive amounts of sodium, wear compression socks, take medication for it or even rely on iv fluids
