Board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist Andrew Rudin, MD helps patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome find the why behind their symptoms — and address it through diet, lifestyle, and supplements first.
If your heart races when you stand, if you’re dizzy, exhausted, and foggy, and if you’ve been told your tests are “normal,” you may be dealing with POTS. As a cardiac electrophysiologist, I’ve spent my career on the heart’s rhythm and the autonomic system that controls it. I work as a consultant, and my approach to POTS starts with a question most patients haven’t been asked: what is actually driving this? Rather than treating POTS as something to mask with medication, I look for root causes — dehydration and low blood volume, deconditioning, post-viral autonomic disruption, and sometimes a chronic inflammatory state that drives vasodilation and blood pooling — and suggest a natural, lifestyle-first plan built around them.
Who this is for: patients who prefer a natural path — who want to understand and address the root of their POTS through diet, lifestyle, and supplements rather than reaching first for pharmaceuticals.
What this approach looks like
Understanding your specific POTS pattern. Focusing on the fundamentals — fluids, salt, compression, carefully graded movement, and targeted diet and supplement strategies — that help most patients. Identifying and addressing root causes rather than only masking symptoms. And when a change in medication may be worth considering, I’ll say so and point you to your own physician — the one who prescribes for you — to make that decision together.
