pots what causes it
Parasitescan transmit diseases, such as Chagas, that can cause POTS symptoms. Some patients report developing POTS after having Lyme disease. Porphyriashave been associated with POTS symptoms (Stewart & Hensley, 1981). Porphyrias are rare, mainly genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to make hemoglobin. They are caused by deficiencies in enzymes involved in the synthesis of heme.
