ramakentesh Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Vasodilation isnt always a problem in POTS - there are forms where the primary problem may be vasoconstriction and not vasodilation. Foods that contain nitrates like onions, garlic, etc, any food that is a donor of nitric oxide. alcohol and melatonin also result in increased vasodilation.
