POSTURAL TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME AND RIGHT-SIDED RIB DISCOMFORT

Postural tachycardia syndrome frequently, or POTS, results in a variety of symptoms, such as right-sided rib pain. This pain is commonly felt on the right and may worsen when upright. While POTS itself does not immediately impact the ribs, several factors play a role to this uncomfortable sensation. These factors can include muscle tension.
