A member asked:
I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome will midodrine help blood get back to heart when standing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Midodrine raises your blood pressure and thus prevents fainting or light-headedness by keeping blood circulation to the brain. The heart will get more blood return and the reflex tachycardia will be less pronounced, or even be not triggered.
