A member asked:

What to do if i might have pots (postural orthostatic tachycardia), does that also effect blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May do: Patients with pots may also have vaso-depressor syndrome / syncope. If you have not had a tilt table test you should certainly get that to make a diagnosis and start treatment. Good luck!
