Medications like salt tablets, fludrocortisone, pyridostigmine, midodrine, and or a beta blocker may be prescribed to help control POTS.

You may be prescribed thigh-high medical compression stockings. These stockings help push the blood up from the legs to reduce POTS symptoms

You should obtain a blood pressure monitor to check blood pressure and pulse. Blood pressure monitors may be purchased at most drug stores, online, or at a medical supply store. Have your blood pressure monitor checked at your doctor’s office to make sure your machine’s readings correlate with your doctor’s blood pressure readings

Although the heart is healthy in most POTS patients, you may be evaluated to enter a cardiac rehab program. This exercise template uses the cardiac rehab model to recondition and help improve health and control POTS. Some of the best data for treating POTS comes from cardiac rehab
