Beta blockers ability to block the B1 receptor is probably the most effective way to relive discomfort from a racing heart. Also, another risk factor for POTs that goes largely unspoken is cervical instability. Improper neck posture puts pressure on both the vagus nerve and the glossalpharegial nerve. Agitate those and you will get pots type symptoms.

Also, on treatment: there are protocols for the use of exercise, such as the Levine protocol and the Dallas/CHOP modified protocol (which is better for exercise-intolerant patients). These are very effective, particularly when paired with physical therapy, and are superior to simple aerobic exercise

❤ I have the opposite… My heart beats too fast laying down to sleep, and I get extreme headaches in the back of my head 4 hours later. Then I get up in the middle of the night, drink coffee, and the headaches go away. 63 year-old male. 🤷‍♂️

quick thing i want to address as someone with POTS; POTS is a neurological condition, NOT a cardiac condition

Clonidine and alpha methyldopa are alpha 2 agonists, they decrease sympathetic activity
