Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia defined by ≥30 bpm heart rate increase (≥40 in <19y) within 10 min of standing without orthostatic hypotension; estimated 1-3 million Americans (F:M ~5:1, peak 15-35y); mechanisms: autoimmune (anti-adrenergic receptor IgG — anti-alpha1-AR, anti-beta1-AR, anti-beta2-AR; anti-muscarinic M3/M4 IgG in subset); neuropathic POTS (small fiber neuropathy, skin biopsy-confirmed, anti-tTG IgG overlap); hyperadrenergic POTS (elevated standing norepinephrine >600pg/mL); post-COVID POTS (autoimmune, S1 spike ACE2); NF-kB/IL-6/IL-17 neuroinflammation; mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) overlap 30%; hypovolemia + reduced venous return; Ehlers-Danlos syndrome overlap.
Sea moss fucoidan targets NF-kB, IL-6, IL-17, autoimmune antibody inflammation; selenium provides neuronal/autonomic GPx neuroprotection; omega-3 DHA supports autonomic nerve membrane integrity and resolvin D1 neuroinflammation; zinc supports autonomic metalloenzymes and small fiber nerve integrity.
