Understanding POTS and Chiari Malformation

POTS is a disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system, causing an abnormal increase in heart rate upon standing. This condition often leads to symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. When combined with Chiari malformation, where the brain tissue extends into the spinal canal, patients may experience additional complications, including headaches, neck pain, and sensory issues.

At Oaks at Radford Hills, we recognize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treating POTS patients with Chiari malformation.
