bombsh3ll Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 My hr and bp go up on standing and have been in the 180+ range when I was on licorice. Lower now but just as presyncopal. First of all are you on any medication? Sometimes POTS patients are given bp raising meds when that isn't our issue. The above reading could be an error given the extremely low pulse pressure, but equally machines often error when bp is very unstable. definitely keep a log and see your doctor asap. Insist they take a standing reading whilst you are there. You may be one of the lucky patients who responds to sympatholytics e.g. Clonidine or methyldopa.
