I have pots. i have a friends w/ pots who is only on a beta blocker & is fine while i' m on florinef, (fludrocortisone) beta blocker, & still have very bad days. why?

POTS: Avoid caffein and chocolates . Drink plenty of fluids.

POTS: If you do indeed have POTS, then you should know that the optimal therapy for it is uncertain. All medical therapies for POTS have off-label indications. Fludrocortisone is most effective when combined with increased salt and water intake. POTS has a good prognosis with most patients noticing some improvement after one year and some with complete resolution.

Like many issues : POTS has quite variable severity, some people are only mildly bothered by symptoms others quite debilitated. Additionally the pathophysiologic causes are several, so different people respond to different interventions/medications.
