The Driscoll Theory™

Vagus Nerve Dysfunction

Vagus nerve dysfunction can manifest in many ways for patients with POTS. Symptoms may include gastroparesis, chronic constipation, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), delayed gastric emptying, low pancreatic enzymes, difficulty breathing and abnormal heart rate, which may be due to vagus nerve dysfunction. We will evaluate (and treat) these patients non-invasively.

We Are The Only Clinic Approaching POTS In This Way

POTS Recovery

At POTS Care, it’s personal!

“Patients with POTS usually suffer with so much -- and with little or no validation from their doctors. Even the label of “POTS” does not provide legitimacy for the illness. I remember when I had POTS that I was sick in any position! My fast heart rate was not my worst symptom -- I was completely non-functional, as was my son.

Instead, I view POTS as a symptom of something else, and we need to figure out what that something else is in order to allow recovery.

Identifying the underlying problems also gives patients the validity they need when dealing with doctors and even friends and family. We must dramatically change how this condition is treated. This mission is a personal one for me!”

- Diana Driscoll, OD

    Options for Care

    CONSULT

    $275

    30-minute phone consultation with Dr. Diana Driscoll, Optometrist and Clinical Director

    Are you lost in your case? Do you need direction, advice, or encouragement? Although not a medical examination, Dr. Driscoll is a recovered patient, a researcher, and a practitioner and can offer high-level support. She can share her thoughts concerning Inflammatory POTS, IIH, family dynamics, school issues, validation, and recovery. Dr. Driscoll will also send you selected resources following your consultation that may help you.

    THE POTS CARE PACKAGE™

    $775

    Three month program to begin recovery including:

    • An app on your cell phone to guide you through Inflammatory POTS (what does the latest research tell us and how can this guide your recovery)
    • 30-minute consultation with Dr. Diana Driscoll
    • Biweekly audios by Dr. Diana Driscoll to educate, inform, and support
    • Over $500 in supplements that may offer you some immediate relief, even if your doctors have not yet identified your inflammation.
    • Heart rate variability monitor to help guide your recovery
    • A recovery journal/workbook
    • Guidance on exercise, sleep, and dietary planning
    • This package covers the commonalities in POTS patients including a tendency to develop abnormal intracranial pressure, parasympathetic nervous system problems, digestive issues, nutrient malabsorption, cognitive decline, immune disorders, and inflammatory states.
    • If you would like to approach POTS with as few medications as possible, or if you are not familiar with Inflammatory POTS, this POTS Care Package™ may be a great place to start.

    CASE EVALUATION (COMING SOON)

    $2,900

    This is an evaluation of your case to date, with specific guidance for you and your medical team. Not everyone can be a POTS expert nor up on the latest research. We will do this for you!

    We will carefully evaluate your medical records to date (including blood work, your brain MRI if you’ve had one, and your ocular records) as well as over 200 potential symptoms and what these may mean.

    We will offer specific thoughts and guidance based on your individual case with recommendations for further testing that your medical team can likely complete, differential diagnoses to consider, and ways you may be able to avoid invasive procedures. Are you extraordinarily sensitive? We will discuss that, as well as psychiatric symptoms that can be misinterpreted by those uninformed.

    FULL POTS CARE TREATMENT

    $9,300

    Full case evaluation with a treatment plan and two months of follow-up.
    This includes:

    • A careful review of your previous medical records
    • Customized blood work
    • Ocular testing (non-invasive and can be completed by your eye doctor)
    • Two days of appointments with our team with two months of follow- up
    • Audio and workbook guidance continues for three months.
    • You will graduate from us with the knowledge, medicine, and power to not only recover from POTS, but to be healthier throughout your life.
