erinlia Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is midodrine worth trying for POTS if you have pretty severe raynauds? I see its a vasoconstrictor. Has anyone here, who also has raynauds, been able to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 @erinlia I have HPOTS and Raynauds, as well as Prinzmetal angina ( kind of Raynauds of the heart ). In the beginning of my illness they did not know about HPOTS and ordered Midodrine. It was ineffective but did not noticeably make my POTS or Raynauds worse. Once diagnosed by my autonomic specialist with HPOTS he immediately stopped the Midodrine because he said it is not the right med for my case. After many med trials I found the best relief from Carvelidol and Diltiazem ( a vasodilator ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
