Jen, I was just diagnosed with POTS last week Wednesday after a TTT. I also did not have problems with my blood pressure, but did have tachy up to 160 without any meds. I am also trying to figure out the best way to treat my POTS so thank you for the update on the meds prescribed. I was given a very low doese of Topral a Beta Blocker, however It dropped my BP and pulse very low and needed to stop. My MD has yet to return my call (3 days later) so I guess I need to find someone who is a little more responsive, and has more treatment options. Best of Luck. Rhonda

I have had POTS episodes for over 15 years, however was just diagnosed with a tilt table test. I had 3 good years, while treated for sinus infections with Prednesone. It seems that none of my MD's have heard of treating POTS with prednesone, so now that I no longer have sinus infections, I am having multiple POTS episodes, and my quality of life has gone down fast. Has anyone ever heard of a link between POTS and improvement on Prednesone? What tests were done to prove that this method would work for you? Any thoughts would be helpful.
