issie 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2012 Since elevated NE in essential hypertension results in INCREASED cerebral blood flow why does it do the opposite in POTS?That's the million dollar question. If I had a million dollars - I'd give it for that answer. Issie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corina 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Hey thanks Issie, altough I'm too brain fogged to figure it all out (AND keep it in mind!), I came across a dutch participant who shared info on where to go for blood volume measuring. So quite helpful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
