What Causes Heart Burn And Numbness In The Left Arm And Hand?
Hi, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes in order to exclude possible coronary artery disease. POTS is not a life threatening cardiac disease, but the chest pain could be related to coronary artery disease. An exercise cardiac stress test may be necessary if this situation persists. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
