A member asked:
If had pots would hr always rise on standing? sometimes it goes up by 20-25 then go down? would the hr stay high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthostasis and HR: Please clarify "pots"... It is not uncommon for heart rate to go up when standing up and then slow down again. Heart rate will respond to the body's needs...
