Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm having trouble finding an answer. If you have a diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension, is it possible to also have POTS? I'm reading that with POTS, you get tachycardia upon standing without the drop in blood pressure. I have orthostatic hypotension but it's been suggested to me that I should look into doing a workup for POTS. I'm dizzy all the time. My heart rate goes from 80 bpm lying down to 110 bpm after standing for a minute.
Edit: Just tried monitoring HR again after lying down for 5 mins, was 80 bpm. Stood up and took it again at 2 minutes, was 118 bpm. Not sure if I'm doing that correctly...
