This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether diaphragmatic breathing exercises—a technique where you breathe deeply into your belly—can help pregnant women with a condition called POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) that causes their heart to race and makes them feel dizzy or faint when they stand up. The study will compare women who learn and practice these breathing exercises daily with women who receive educational information about their condition. All participants will also learn relaxation techniques to help manage their symptoms.
Pregnancy can make POTS symptoms worse, especially in the first trimester when hormone and blood volume changes happen. Doctors believe breathing exercises may help calm the nervous system and reduce these symptoms without medication, which is important for protecting both mother and baby during pregnancy.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 30 days. If you're in the breathing exercises group, you'll learn a simple belly-breathing technique and practice it for 5 minutes once a day at home. If you're in the education group, you'll receive information about managing your condition. Both groups will also learn progressive muscle relaxation. Researchers will measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms at the beginning and end of the study using standard medical equipment.
