A member asked:
I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. will midodrine stop as much blood falling when i stand and more return upwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Midodrine raises BP: Yes, midodrine is an alpha1-agonist which increases arteriolar and venous tone resulting in a rise in standing, sitting, and supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with orthostatic hypotension. You should see a cardiologist for specific doses and to assess drug responsiveness.
