POTS Subtypes β€” A Pattern-Based Classical Reading

POTS Subtypes β€” A Pattern-Based Classical Reading

POTS subtypes (hyperadrenergic, hypovolaemic, neuropathic, secondary) have different mechanisms and benefit from different treatment emphases. The classical framework integrates with this subtype-based approach. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang matches supportive treatment to POTS subtype.

Common Symptom Pattern

  • βœ“ Hyperadrenergic features (Subtype 1)
