ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 01/09/20261) Many patients with orthostatic intolerance do not meet the require heart rate increase of POTS criteria. This new expert consensus paper argues that that this group deserves more recognition, including a separate diagnosis and ICD-code. 33312
Dr. med. Michaela Bauer @drmichaelabauer.bsky.social · 02/09/2026When orthostatic intolerance is psychologised, psychotropic treatment often follows. Some psychotropics can worsen tachycardia, hypotension or orthostatic symptoms. Recognising dysautonomia beyond rigid POTS thresholds is therefore essential—especially in ME/CFS. 020
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 01/09/20262) In the paper they call this group "Non-POTS dysautonomia" but explain that this is just a preliminary description. I personally do not like this term because it still referring to POTS and the term dysautonomia is problematic in itself. 1110
