Not that I know of. I would assume it's more likely to cause anxiety.

It can cause severe anxiety and depression, as with a lack of blood flow, the brain will be in a state of thinking it’s dying, trigging the parasympathetic nervous system into fight or flight, which can cause your heart to beat faster, which can make pots worse. I only know this because my partner has severe pots and has to be careful to not stress too much (which, in life, is truly impossible)
