Brief Answer:
Let her try to manage anger right

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am sorry to hear about what your daughter has been going through. Assuredly, this is not what kills unless otherwise. She needs to learn how to put up with frustrations without passing out. It is the intensity of her emotions that is responsible for this. If she is unable to help herself out of it, please seek the services of a psychiatrist for behavioral therapy lessons.

I wish you well. I wish her well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. She would not die of this no matter how scaring it gets.rom t

Brief Answer:
Am sorry you seem not satisfied!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your anger. Unfortunately POTS would not wait fro when your daughter is upset to set in. This is a disease condition that has to do with the upright posture. This is not what your daughter has from a review of her symptoms and I cannot call it thus.

I strongly believe she is unable to manage her emotions in such moments which explain why. Talk with her and let her devise strategies on how to deal with stressful situations and I believe that would help her. Unless there is some more issues that you have not mentioned to me.

I wish you and your daughter well. Feel free to request for specific information if need be.
