Hi folks, I’m looking for any tips you have about using abdominal compression gear to help with POTS. I recently purchased an elastic abdominal support with velcro closure, and while I love the effects of abdominal compression in general I’m having lots of trouble with the gear itself. The...

A couple of weeks after I contracted Covid, I developed symptoms that resemble Hyperadrenergic POTS, which have persisted for the past ~10.5 months. I went for a POTS panel, and ended having elevated levels for * Alpha-1 Adrenergic AABs As well as at risk for * AT1R AABs These are not too...

We're trying to justify treatment to insurance, but a standard 2-day exercise test doesn't get at my son's primary functional issues. His key items are the fatigue, anxiety, intractable headache, brain fog, bad sleep ... AND the neurocognitive/emotional crash he has after cognitive/emotional...

Starting now and off the top of my head. I will have a caregiver go back to the actual documents to find details as they come up. For now , however, I will post that something is out of range without specific number as I'm going from memory. Abnormal Clivo axial angle, on two separate...

This is my biggest problem. If I can fix this, I think that I would be in much better shape. I have Pectus Excavatum which can mimic POTS and I think I will have to do the NUSS procedure in the hopes it can better my symptoms. I use compression, drink fluid, salt and Mestinon. I also have...

I have blood pooling and the last week I have been experiencing dizziness for the first time. Though I should note that Ive been on Mestinon for 3 days. Ive seen people reverse their pots with: Abx IVIG & Rituximab I read somewhere that doxycycline could help strengthen ligaments, could this...

Hi, I have been a silent reader of this forum for many years. During the past couple of months, I often had to think about a study from Australia. There, it is said, that POTS (at least in a subgroup) is caused by an epigenetic malfunction of the NE-Transporter. This epigenetic malfunction can...

There has been increasing research on the role of eosinophils and connective tissue disorders. The eosinophils main role is fighting off parasitic infections, however they also play a huge part in allergic responses and inflammation. They release many cytotoxic and neurotoxic chemicals that...

I don't know exactly how much I should drink so am sticking with 12 cups of water a day (very thirsty and peeing a lot) from hyper POTS/mild hyperaldosteronism. But I have been getting muscle aches/cramps (more like muscle pulling sensation) behind my knees lately. I had my sodium and potassium...

Ive been seeing a lot of people post about POTS here on PR and I am honestly a little confused about it. From my understanding it has something to do with blood volume in your body?? And how it changes/lacks change when standing??? Every time I google it I just get confused and find that...

The Levine protocol developed from Levine's research reported a 50% drop out rate - alarm bells much! He also claims POTS is purely from deconditioning and not a dysautonomia at all. This makes no sense given how often POTS occurs during peak physical fitness. I have no reason to trust in...
