STANDING UP to POTS is committed to increasing awareness for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) within the medical community and raising money to support POTS research. POTS is a form of dysautonomia, and is caused by malfunctioning of the autonomic ("automatic") nervous system. Standing Up to POTS was founded in 2014 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is run 100% by volunteers.
