I have pots) why would my bp be 92/72 and hr 109 even after receiving iv fluids?

What your usual sitting BP & sitting heart rate? If you had a POTS flare up with severe tachycardia your heart rate may only very slowly return to baseline. If your usual resting BP is low normal, 105/70 for example, 92/72 isn't too far off especially if it was taken while supine. The duration & frequency of POTS flares vary tremendously among different patients. Hopefully you may "outgrow" POTS.

How does one advocate for oneself w/o being labeled "demanding"? I'm filing a complaint with the hospital, but as a SCA survivor with POTS, who knowingly went to ER having had minimal fluid I&Os for days, requesting iv fluids = "demanding"? How so?
