Good question: Great question. Honestly...I am not sure. The only thing I can say is this. In POTS Syndrome the blood pools below the waist and heart works harder to pump it. With a celiac block, initially blood with engorge around the intestinal area for a while so maybe the POTS will worsen initially but over time other sympathetic nerves pick up the slack and things get better? I am not sure
