What is Orthostatic Intolerance? Part 1- Diagnostic Workup

MEDICAL PROVIDER EDUCATION:
This video is geared toward medical professionals. However, we encourage everyone to watch it and share it with loved ones to increase awareness of orthostatic intolerance in ME/CFS.
The National Academy of Medicine has reported there is sufficient evidence to suggest a high prevalence of orthostatic intolerance (OI) exists in those with ME/CFS.
OI is measurable, and the ability to identify and manage OI can greatly improve patient outcomes and daily functioning. Part 1 in this video series will address ways to assess and measure orthostatic intolerance, while Part 2 addresses interventions and management.
*Although this video focuses on the diagnostic criteria of OI in those with ME/CFS, the content within this video applies to all who may experience OI/POTS/Neurally mediated hypotension.
These videos were made possible with support from the Utah Medical Association, the R. Harold Burton Foundation, and other generous donors.
