plaster89 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi! I have been finally diagnosed with POTS late last year and given medicine to improve my symptoms. I am 5'10" and weight about 155 pounds back then. I started taking Bisoprolol to slow down my heart rate, it was a pretty low dose. My height has been stable for the past few years but in the few weeks since taking this medicine I have gained 10 pounds! Yes, it is true that I felt more tired than earlier and was having less energy. I wasn't feeling great on Bisoprolol so it was switched to Ivradine and it appears to be giving me a nice improvement. However, the weight have not gone down, in fact it went up further! It is strange because I am not eating more than earlier and I am arguably the most active since three years ago. But the weight is either stable or going up, currently I weight 168 pounds. I know these extra pounds are not helping my POTS. What would you suggest?
