So like me from the sound of it very low BP with standing, did your BP go up? And how has your cardio decided to treat it?

Yes, BP went back up after the nurse returned the table back into a horizontal position. She also gave me oxygen and began fluid bolus. My cardiologist encouraged me to keep my far off appointment with the Duke cardiologist, as they would be able to decide if I have POTS or not. There isn’t a cardiologist in this area who is qualified to make that call. My local cardiologist said that I could try making lifestyle changes in the matters of drinking more water and eating more salt or try an Rx. Since I already drink allot of water and eat a ton of salt, I opted for the med, which is called “Midodrine”.
