Beta blockers for POTS anyone?

[Guest guest]

Wondered if anyone uses or has tried low dose beta blockers for POTS/OI.

I have adrenal insufficiency as some may know, low aldosterone which makes POTS

a lot worse. Cant tolerate florinef which is used for POTS/OI - aldosterone

replacement.

Main probelm is that if I have to be up for too long (which can be just a few

minutes), I can get bad POTS symptoms. So for the last few years I have missed

most of my medical appointments which is very counter productive.

I wondered if occasional low dose beta blocker just for use on say days I need

to get to appointments etc would be useful? I've heard of others with CFS using

them too and being able to get out more.

Any advice on types/doses or experiences would be appreciated! Not sure if I'd

even tolerate though as I'm super drug sensitive and don't tolerate many/most

meds.

Thanks, Chris.
