Thank you very much for your response, I will conduct another test later this evening. Also - should I monitor my blood preasure during the test? I have a wrist cuff I could use. I'm new to pots and understanding it, and have seen some members post BP can play a role in diagnosis. Thank you!

Hello, I'm a 21 year old guy and know pots is fairly rare for men, however lately I've noticed my heart rate flies when I stand up. It's also very apparent when I do minimal physical exertion such as walk around my apartment or clean. My resting heart rate varies between 60-70 and sometimes reaches 55. I am 6 foot tall and weigh 145lbs. I did a standing test and here were the results: Resting: 74bpm (higher than usual) Standing: 84bpm (immediately after standing) 4 minutes: 90bpm 6 minutes: 93bpm 8 minutes: 103bpm 10 minutes: 98bpm As soon as I laid down: 60bpm I don't usually get too lightheaded and I've never passed out, but this was a more mild example of how my HR climbs. Sometimes it will reach 110-120bpm. Thoughts?
