Are Chest Pain, Headaches, Pain In The Arms And Neck Due To POTS Syndrome?
Hi, I have been having a pressure and discomfort in my chest and left side of my neck and my left arm is aching and hurting. I also have a headache. I have been told that I have POTS syndrome. Could this pain be caused from that or is this something else that I should have checked out?

Hello,
POTS syndrome can have pain in the neck or upper arm but a pain in neck/arm specifically on the left side with discomfort in the chest, headache demand demands a detailed cardiovascular checkup (with blood pressure & heart functioning).
Please consult a cardiologist to exclude or find heart problem which would be easily managed with early diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
