A member asked:
My daughter 15 has all the signs of pots apart from the increased heart rate. when she stands up her heart rate drops to as low as 58 bpm could this be another form of disautonomia or cardiac condition?

You don't mention what your daughter's usual resting heart rate is. Normally the heart rate increases about 10-15 beats/ min transiently on standing up & we have no symptoms. Since your daughter has paradoxical slowing of the heart rate on standing,this could be a type of autonomic dysfunction. I recommend that she be evaluated & advised by an exercise physiologist. She'll have fitness&stress test

Can clonidine lower heart rate? Having POTS, my HR is usually 115 on a good day. The past 2 weeks it's been as low as 40 bpm.
