My POTS symptoms have significantly worsened over the last two months or so. I want medication for it but worried I will be turned away since I do not faint often. Wondering what to do next?

What symptoms do you all have because my doctor is suspecting I have pots but can't diagnose due to the tilt table test not working right now I have been getting purple cold fingers and toes also super red and hot fingers and toes do

A lot of people with pots don’t faint. Don’t worry about it.

I faint pretty regularly, but the medication isn't just for fainting. It's for all of the symptoms that you experience with POTS. Unfortunately they don't seem to be working for me, but I also have other medical issues.

@tatertot731 sorry for the late reply, I was put on ivabradine which lowers your heart rate. My resting is definitely a lot lower and I dont get nearly as many spikes as I used to!
@Connie_Rose Thank you, have you found that it has helped you?
@pink_sky i have! My resting heartrate is a lot lower than it used to be and I get less spikes. I was put on ivabradine btw!
