Mikey Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi....I was diagnosed with POTS most likely post-viral. I also have orthostatic hypertension. I'm only hypertensive when I standing (135/90). I was prescribed bystolic 2.5mg and given the option to take Coreg 3.25mg (because bystolic is expensive), outside of the financial difference. Does anyone have any input on which one I should try first? which one is more commonly successful in people with POTS? Coreg blocks alpha-1 receptors which seems to me to be counterproductive because it would exacerbate venous pooling? Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I also have orthostatic hypertension, in my case it is caused by excessive vasoconstriction. I tried Bystolic and Toprol but the one that helped me the most is Coreg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
