What is Orthostatic Intolerance? Part 2-Management

MEDICAL PROVIDER EDUCATION:
This video is geared toward medical professionals. However, we encourage everyone to watch it and share it with loved ones to increase awareness of orthostatic intolerance in ME/CFS.
The National Academy of Medicine has reported there is sufficient evidence to suggest a high prevalence of orthostatic intolerance (OI) exists in those with ME/CFS.
OI is measurable, and the ability to identify and manage OI can greatly improve patient outcomes and daily functioning. Part 1 in this video series will address ways to assess and measure orthostatic intolerance, while Part 2 addresses interventions and management.
*Although this video focuses on the diagnostic criteria of OI in those with ME/CFS, the content within this video applies to all who may experience OI/POTS/neurally mediated hypotension.
These videos were made possible with support from the Utah Medical Association, the R. Harold Burton Foundation, and other generous donors.

I’d love to see a video about HOW the Covid virus causes damage. Viral infection was briefly stated at the end of this video as a cause to of ME/CFS , as well as other contributing factors. I am trying to understand exactly what happened when I had Covid, to cause all of these contributions to ME/CFS. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm going to show this to my GP as they thought I had POTS but said I didn't meet the criteria when tested and I have ME/CFS

This information is dense to absorb for lay people. Next time please do not use the distracting background music.

Wonderfully informative and educational video. Another instigating factor to include is autoimmune driven small fiber polyneuropathy.( Dr Anne Louise Oaklander) Diagnosed through skin biopsy and especially suspect after trying all the POTs treatments without success. It can be treated with IV Immunoglobulins.

I wish there was no background music. It adds nothing to the presentation and increases cognitive load.
