A member asked:
Can high blood pressure in pots. a dysatanoumia be treated with arbs if bp fluctuates too much? or is autonomic dysfunction a contradiction ? can low bp cause blood clots ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In treating labile hypertension of the elderly, which is felt to be caused by autonomic dysfunction, blood pressures can be all over the place. We have them check their BP& pulse rate lying down( which may be the highest BP for them, sitting & standing & then determine the day's dose which may vary day to day.,I favor lowest dose of amlodipine&adjust if BP climbs. With POTS, sleep semi supine.
