POTs and Syncope: Fluids, salt, compression stockings are typically first line agents. Beta-blockers are used for pots. Next line agents include Florinef (fludrocortisone) and midodrine, but these have to be discussed with your physician, especially Florinef (fludrocortisone) which is a kind of mineralocorticoid agent and can cause problems with bone health.
