Summary
This study looks at whether eating more salt can help people with POTS, a condition that causes a fast heart rate and dizziness when standing. Researchers will compare a high-salt diet to a normal-salt diet over 3 months in 50 adults. The goal is to see if extra salt lowers heart rate and improves symptoms like lightheadedness.
