There is not really a definitive answer. Pregnancy is common, especially in the age group that tends to get PoTS, ie young and female! It may be that pregnancy triggers PoTS or it may be a co-incidence that it developed around the time of pregnancy. Basically, some patients report PoTS during or after pregnancy but doctors don’t know if this is coincidental.
