cma Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi.It's good to know that someone got better. Would you happen to know for how long he has had POTS? Is he still taking all the meds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 atenelol is a bb that doesn't cross blood barrier, unlike propranolol, so it seems to be a treatment for hyperpots people as it also is for hypertension....klonopin and lexepro help with adrenal surges, Doxazosin works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure...is an antihypertensive. I venture this person is a hyperpots. and I wonder too if he is still on those meds? I love yoga, never had acupuncture as insurance is so stupid and won't cover. I wonder why both klonopin and lexepro tho, they are both benzo's...? mind asking that person? would like to know.

POTLUCK Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Angela,Lexapro is an SSRI if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joann Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 If you don't mind answering, how long was he ill, how long before this helped. And how ill was he, what type if you know? Sorry for all the questions. But we are all so different.Many things on this site do not apply to me, as to I do not have low blood pressure. Unless I am on too much blood pressure meds., so alot of th info (like salt loading) does not apply to me. I am so looking for ideas. I usually have to remind the doctors that I have high blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
