I developed hyper pots after about 2 straight years of being my fathers caregiver. Hes 84 now with end stage alzheimer's. I literally have helped him non stop for 2 1/2 years with not one day off or even a break. One night, about 5 months ago, my BP shot up to 179/125 and i have not felt right since that night. Every single day has been misery.

"Increased urine output upon standing." Can you talk more about this? I'm dealing with chronic dehydration we think caused by too frequent urine output.

I'm really shocked that one of the main symptoms of this was not listed....( I was confirmed/ diagnosed with Hyper POTS at Mayo Clinic via a catecholamine test).... Adrenal surges is a MAJOR symptom and EXTREMELY difficult to manage, even with medication and lifestyle.... I mean, it's right there in the name : hyper adrenergic AKA hyper-adrenaline

I have hyper pots and one thing i noticed compared to regular pots is that i have very high blood pressure not low blood pressure 😢

In my active stand test my bp went up to 172/120 😬 it came down over a few minutes to about 134/89. My cardiologist is not an expert in POTS but i assumed this is hyperadrenergic POTS. The HR went up more than 30bpm too. I didn't get any symptoms other than Acrocyanosis.

Why does hyper pots patients have low aldosterone and renin? I was diagnosed with hyper pots and another doctor told me I had low aldosterone and renin but nobody could ever explain why. I was prescribed fludrocortisone to help with one of those low hormones or whatever. It has helped with being light headed upon standing.

I'm a medical coder and I experienced 212/191 BP for the TTT, I get really cold and I sweat and freeze at the same time, I have GERD and I was diagnosed with overactive bladder and urgency incontinence after I got COVID. I get purple and blue arms and my pulse can change from 63-116 in a matter of a couple minutes, just lying there. Please help me.

Okay so what causes hyper pots because neuropathic pots is causes by nerve damage so im guessing theres a cause for hyper too?

[brittanycahill]

What about getting those symptoms even while sitting or laying down? Is that a different type of POTS?

My doctor said “oh you can’t have pots your blood pressure is too high not low” 💀

Why is there increased urine output upon standing?

[PazoraArts]

My potassium keeps coming up low, I think it's due to the intense shaking/ shivering in my entire body.
