Looking for POTS Treatment Options

I’ve tried a lot of the things people have said, but I also wanted to mention there definitely are medications that help, especially if your blood pressure is also low when lying down (mine is). I’ve tried midodrine and fludrocortisone! The fludrocortisone worked better but because it is a steroid it made my cortisol levels extremely low. But they might be worth asking your doctor about! They aren’t perfect and need to be used with the other techniques mentioned, but it helps!!

I get weekly iv hydration and it has helped a ton!

There is medication that can help POTS. I take propranolol, which helps me so much. Hydrating is important. My cardiologist suggested Liquid IV in my water when I'm feeling particularly potsy. Also, being aware of heat sensitivity if you have it is helpful. Light, wicked clothing makes a difference!

I drink at least TriOral packet (can get on Amazon) every morning and it’s been a game changer for me. also salt stick capsules or chewable tabs! conditioning yourself to slowly increase exercise can help a lot too. and if your blood pools in your legs definitely try compression socks

Okay, I have a lot for you. I’ve had it for more than a decade diagnosed, and I have a family history of it dating pretty far back. This is an overall list dating from 1916-present of what helps. -Compression socks -Hydration -Cut out artificial food dyes (big one) —ESPECIALLY red and blue (major cause of hearth palpitations) -Salt salt salt and more salt -Elevated feet whenever possible -Ice packs/remain as cool as possible -Glass of water before bed and ASAP next morning (no idea the science but it helps) -A consistent routine of sleep and waking up is essential. The more routine and structure you have in your life the better off you’ll be. I have no idea what your region is but COLD helps, and obviously high altitudes (example Colorado) does us NO favors.

Salt tabs

Can I ask first how long you have had symptoms/been diagnosed?
