A member asked:
Why with pots does my heart rate get more tachy after i eat? this is rather annoying.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
POTS and tachycardia: Pots is a disorder of inefficient blood distribution. Your heart reacts abnormally to keep blood flowing to your brain. When you eat, blood flows to the splanchnic beds and makes less fluid available for proper blood flow. Keep your legs up after you eat, make sure you're drinking a lot of fluids, and pump your arms as if you were doing curls with weights. Good luck!

Heart rate went from 80bpm-130bpm when I stood up within 30 seconds and bp went from 126/80 to 131/95. I get dizzy and weak when standing sometimes, this comes in episodes that last for days with other symptoms before improving. Could I have POTS?
I get PVCS and have POTS. If I get my heart rate to 110bpm with exercise I'm ok. BUT if I get hot like sat in sun and my HR goes to 110bpm I get TONS of PVCS, why? Structurally normal heart by echo, ECG and normal bloods and electrolytes?
