@Emerald_star I take adderall for hypotension and a low dose of propranolol for tachycardia this may not work for everyone depending on how it affects your blood pressure

I know that my body chemicals change very frequently throughout the day. Mornings suck. Im up early, but i dare not try physical things for about 3 hours. Working from home is essential for me. I would hit 200bpm getting ready for work. Check out National Institute of General Medical Sciences (.gov) https://nigms.nih.gov › Pages › circ... Circadian Rhythms

Medication doesn't do much for me. It keeps my heart rate at a safer level but I am still very symptomatic, especially in the heat.

I've been told by my doctors that medication doesn't really help, but I haven't seen many doctors that know that much about POTS. Currently I'm not on meds for it, I'm trying to manage it with hydration and exercise
@mamauwu (I'm still experiencing symptoms though so there's that)
Yes I’m on medication which has worked wonders but every now and then it’ll strike me out of nowhere with no warning or no reason why
@Mickey1210 May I ask what medication works for you? I’m newly diagnosed and trying to figure out what to take.

@Mickey1210 so glad I'm not the only one. Thought I was going crazy. How do you manage it?

@Holly3628 I’m still working on figuring out how to tbh extra salt and a nap if I can but sometimes when my heart is racing I can’t sleep

One user mentioned that even on a small dose of ADHD medication, it made them incredibly tachycardic and they could barely walk. However, there is no direct mention of experiencing postural tachycardia randomly while on high doses of medication to prevent it.
