A member asked:
Male 22, post orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, sometimes bp is 101/60 hr 56 at rest, is this safe? see profile for tests done for pots.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HR not dangerous: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (pots) is characterized by tachycardia, elevated heart rate, on standing with decrease in blood flow to the brain. A low heart rate is not part of this diagnosis. Some pts have associated vaso-depressor syndrome which can cause a low BP and sometimes a low heart rate (cardio-inhibitory). Your hr is not in a dangerous range unless symptoms present.
