Hi, I've recently confirmed I have POTS thank's to a tilt table test. I read many times that in CFS patients, POTS is related to low blood volume, known as hypovolemia. Does any of you know is there is any test for hypovolemia? thanks in advance

You should try to get tested, get a tilt table test, since that thest can by itself allow to diagnose POTS.I have heard of only a few who have actually been tested so far - and yet they say it I a common symptom of ME and FM and EDS and POTS....
