Hi there
My 13 year old DS was diagnosed with POTs after a Tilt table test at the Royal Brompton back in July. He has been suffering from every symptom related to POTs since March. The poor think could not attend school between April and July because of the constant collapsing, chest pains, dizziness and severe stomach pains and the amount of times he was admitted into hospital
He returned to school on a part time basis in September. We then increased his attendance after half term. We now find that although we follow the salt a fluid intake routine, he still struggles every morning and can't make it into school until 10.30am.
When at school he suffers from stomach pains and difficulties concentrating.
Does anyone else have the severe stomach pains associated with POTs?
Some days I feel so depressed when I see him having a very bad day. Not being able to help can really get you down.
