The Tilt Table Test is often considered the gold standard for diagnosing POTS: 

• The patient is secured to a table that can be tilted to different angles
• Heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels are monitored continuously

Often cardiologists or neurologists will diagnose POTS or Dysautonomia based on vital signs, symptoms, ruling out other disorders, etc. 

Receiving a diagnosis of Dysautonomia/POTS can feel extremely overwhelming and even isolating. Family members and friends may not understand, doctor google may provide an overwhelming amount of conflicting information, and the road ahead may seem long and draining. Some people feel relieved to at least receive an answer. Whatever emotions you are feeling, we want you to give yourself some grace and move ahead at the pace you are comfortable with.

Know that you are not alone. We have a whole community of patients, and even team members, who understand the process you are going through. 

Group Visits on Tuesday's are a great way to start learning more about Dysautonomia, hear success stories, and engage in the healing process with a group of like-minded individuals. Reach out to Outreach Coordinator, Jillian at [email protected] if you would like to discuss the group programs at TCLM. 

Most of our patients benefit from a comprehensive care plan after completing the following tests:
