POSTURAL TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME AND RIGHT-SIDED RIB DISCOMFORT

Postural tachycardia syndrome often, or POTS, leads to a variety of symptoms, amongst right-sided rib pain. This pain is commonly felt on the right and intensifies when upright. Although POTS itself does not immediately impact the ribs, several factors factor in to this painful sensation. These factors may involve spasms in the chest wall.
