Danny Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi All, I'm wondering if any POTS sufferers have tried other supplements for increasing blood pressure / heart rate (chronotropes) / heart contraction strength (inotropes)? I have had considerable success with the below in addition to salt (to reduce the required salt dose):Increase sympathetic tone (counterbalance excess parasympathetic tone): ====================== - Tyrosine (also inotropic) - B vitamins - Iodine & Selenium (act via thyroid hormone)Inotropes and Chronotropes (increase heart contractile strength and rate) ====================== - Calcium - Gingko - There is also evidence that Rosemary is a positive inotrope, but I haven't tried it yetImprove blood perfusion ====================== - Fish oil (though this may counterproductively lower blood pressure slightly) Does anyone know of any other supplements with evidence behind them?
