Living with symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, heart palpitations, post-exercise malaise, Raynaud's syndrome or long-COVID symptoms? You could be experiencing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a complex condition caused by autonomic nervous system dysregulation.
Endorsed by the Australian POTS Foundation, The Malmö POTS Score (MAPS) is a validated diagnostic tool for assessing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
In a study of POTS patients versus healthy controls, “the optimal cut-off value to discriminate between POTS and healthy controls was a total MAPS score of ≥42, yielding excellent sensitivity (97%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89–0.99) and specificity (98%; 95% CI 0.89–0.99)."
At biio, we understand the unique challenges of living with POTS. We see it time and again - people experiencing unexplained dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and fatigue, often spending years bouncing between cardiologists, neurologists, and other specialists before finally receiving a POTS diagnosis.
And even then, you may be left with more questions than answers about managing your symptoms and improving your quality of life.
If you're tired of being told "your tests look normal" despite struggling with daily tasks, or if you believe there's more that could be done to help manage your POTS symptoms beyond just increasing fluid intake, you've come to the right place.
