Description

Discover why your “sleep symptoms” might actually be tied to your heart and nervous system. This infographic highlights that nearly 1 in 10 patients with Narcolepsy also suffer from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

  • The Overlap: In some clinical studies, an overwhelming 75% of participants with POTS also had Narcolepsy.

  • The Autonomic Breakdown: Explains how missing hypocretin—the brain’s “autonomic stabilizer”—can lead to non-dipping blood pressure, cold hands/feet, and digestive issues.

  • The Salt Paradox: Offers crucial insights into why the standard POTS treatment of high salt intake must be carefully monitored in Narcolepsy patients due to blood pressure concerns.
