According to a 2022 study, after consuming oral glucose, POTS patients experienced a significant increase in upright heart rate, suggesting a link between sugar intake and symptom exacerbation.

Understanding what foods can trigger POTS is a crucial step for managing this complex autonomic nervous system disorder through dietary adjustments.
