| Popis: | Patients with PoTS can experience multiple gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Some of these symptoms occur in the upright position and improve with lying down, others are not related with the orthostatic challenge. General lifestyle modifications recommended in patients with PoTS could improve GI and non-GI symptoms. Moderate to severe postprandial GI symptoms in patients with PoTS may lead to reduced food intake that could cause nutritional deficiencies. In this case, nutritional assessment is recommended. Gastrointestinal investigations and management are indicated when GI symptoms are severe and impact significantly on quality of life. |
