POTS, Low Blood Pressure, and Chronic Sinus Infections

When Symptoms Are Connected
BOOK APPOINTMENT

By Dr. Rosie Strelnick

“My life before I came to Rose Gold, I suffered from chronic sinus infections and other sinus-related problems. And I also suffered from imbalance and dizziness from having chronic low blood pressure.”

For Nancy, it wasn’t one dramatic episode.

It was the slow erosion of stability.

Standing felt uncertain.
Walking felt unpredictable.
Sinus infections kept returning.
Low blood pressure made daily life feel fragile.

Over time, her world adjusted around her symptoms.

When POTS Is the Missing Piece

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

It often presents as:

  • Chronic low blood pressure
  • Dizziness or imbalance
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Recurrent sinus infections

Many patients are told to hydrate more. Add salt. Wear compression socks. Manage stress.

Few are offered a strategy to actually improve nervous system regulation.

When blood pressure regulation is unstable, circulation to the brain becomes inconsistent. That instability creates dizziness and imbalance.

At the same time, autonomic dysfunction affects immune signaling. Inflammation lingers. Sinus infections become frequent and harder to resolve.

These symptoms are treated separately – they are not separate.

“I Immediately Felt Comfortable and Safe”

Nancy had never tried acupuncture or integrative nervous system therapy before.

“I had no experience with it before and was uncertain about it. And I immediately felt comfortable and safe.”

That matters.

In autonomic dysfunction, the nervous system is already reactive. Safety is not a luxury. It is therapeutic.

The Turning Point

In less than two months, Nancy noticed measurable change.

“My sinus condition has improved dramatically. I’ve only suffered two relapses which were immediately treated by the acupuncture.”

Instead of prolonged infections, flare-ups were contained.

“My dizziness has subsided substantially which improves my daily life demonstrably.”

That word demonstrably is important.

She felt the difference in her daily functioning.

More stability.
More predictability.
Less fear of standing and moving.

“I would recommend it highly.”

If You’ve Been Told to “Just Manage It”

Many patients with POTS are told their condition is something they must simply live with.

Management is important.

But stabilization is possible.

If you are living with chronic dizziness, low blood pressure, recurrent sinus infections, diagnosed Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), or Dysautonomia, comprehensive support is available.
