derekliz Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 The first line confused me....pots is characterized with an elevation in hr without hypotension?? There are so manu on this board that have hypotension upon standing. I, fortunately do not but believe i am Hyperpots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Derekliz- POTS is unique because it is a HR elevation without hypotension. A body's normal response mechanism to hypotension is to elevate your HR, so if you have hypotension when you stand up then the elevated HR is "normal". A lot of us have both POTS and NMH (aka NCS, OH) but in that case you meet POTS criteria first and have the blood pressure change later in the test. Or, the primary issue is the hypotension so you get a NMH/NCS diagnosis without the POTS diagnosis. Hope that made it more clear for you and didn't just confuse the issue more.
