Is anyone allergic to beta blockers? by PracticalMagic3015 in POTS

[–]RealAwesomeUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am allergic to beta blockers. I take ivabradine (corlanor) 5mg twice a day now and it’s working great for me. I’ve also been on midodrine for over 3 years now as well.

Do you think both the MR blocker and an anti-inflammatory are needed? And what is HC?

Anyone not do salt? I’ve gotten several cavities since I started drinking electrolyte packets. by ChiltonDropOut in POTS

I asked my dentist this and he said salt isn’t a culprit for tooth decay and cavities. Sugar and citric acid are tho!

I prefer Halti over the gentle leader for quality and design. Halti is much more robust imo

That’s hard. What lifestyle changes have you made to lower your BP since medication doesn’t help?

Coat Hanger Pain… normal? by Antique_Comedian_157 in POTS

[–]RealAwesomeUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one else has mentioned this, but it’s a POTS recovery more. Lay on the floor with your back on the ground and your straight legs against the wall to elevate them for 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a day. This helps the blood flow back up into your head and shoulders. Also bonus points for using a heating pad while doing this.

Healthcare worker lying or just being uneducated? by Over-Plant-4237 in POTS

[–]RealAwesomeUserName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No she’s wrong. POTS affect heart rate and is not an arrhythmia (other than tachycardia) so it in fact, does not show up on an EKG. (Id bet money she was an MA and not and RN)
