What is the history of Dysautonomia / POTS?
When was Dysautonomia / POTS discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
It has been around for years, no one has found a cure yet which sucks.

Dysautonomia or autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work properly. This may affect the functioning of the heart, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, pupils, and blood vessels, although it has many causes, not all of which classify as neuropathic.[1] A number of diseases can feature dysautonomia, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, autonomic failure, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and autonomic neuropathy.
The diagnosis is achieved through functional testing of the autonomic nervous system, focusing on the organ system affected. Investigations may be performed to identify underlying disease processes that may have led to the development of symptoms or autonomic neuropathy. Symptomatic treatment is available for many symptoms associated with dysautonomia, and some disease processes can be treated directly.[2]
