Poss pots ""interesting tilt table result"hr sudden rise to 167 then drops quickly to 110 and bp down 68/56 every few minutes in test what else can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a cardiologist: This situation sounds like autonomic dysfunction which is when your brain-heart regulatory system is malfunctioning. The rise in hr (possibly due to orthostasis (pots is one example, but it can also come from certain meds and dehydration) causes an abnormal baroreceptor response which lowers BP and hr. The treatment varies depending on age and other conditions, so see a cardiologist.
