Article Synopsis
- Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a challenging condition affecting the autonomic nervous system, and this study uses Leventhal's Common-Sense Model to understand patients' diagnostic journeys.
- Through interviews with 29 participants, three key themes emerged: the pursuit of understanding their condition, their determination to find answers, and the challenges of managing multiple health issues.
- The study emphasizes the need for improved recognition of POTS to help patients gain access to timely diagnosis and effective treatment, reducing uncertainty and guiding symptom management.
