POTS: It is good to investigate health issues on line but diagnosing pots vs anxiety related low BP is best done by a physician. You should discuss this with your dr. Who manages your pots. Blood pressure usually drops somewhat during sleep whether you have pots or not. Anxiety can have various BP responses.
