You talked about how the parents should respond to children with POTS is this a conversation you are having other the parents alone? How would you typically explain this to the parents?
Now the rehab docs and neurologists etc on the team have more intensive contact and I have not had that many POTS patients but being really positive in the exam room and NOT leading with questions about fatigue and dixxiness is a start (just like NOT leading with weight issues in an overweight child) – ask about school, eating habits sleep exercise. books/movies and slip in if any dizziness etc as you go. ONE time I talked to parent alone about not being negative and asking about symptoms – and that was after neuro called me and told me it was a concern!
