Description
Summary:Fatigue is a significant symptom that is frequently reported by those with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS). There are a variety of reasons why those with PoTS might experience fatigue and as a consequence an individualised approach to management is most appropriate. In this chapter we will examine the prevalence of fatigue in those with PoTS, its overlap with conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and describe a clinical approach to the management of fatigue in those with PoTS. •Fatigue is a common symptom described by those with PoTS.•Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is often co-diagnosed with PoTS.•Management of fatigue in PoTS is best delivered as a multidisciplinary approach.
