I'm pretty sure it's me and not the monitor. When my LLMD diagnosed me with POTS, the diastolic went up over 9 minutes of standing while the systolic remained steady.
Do any of you know what it means to have a diastolic BP that is bouncing around like this? Could it be causing these POTS "attacks" of dizziness; vomiting; diarrhea; falling asleep stone cold for an hour :/ ?

Need more input. These intervals what are you doing between each one? Are you eating, standing, walking, lying down what? What is the pulse rate?
If you aren't taking pulse rate you wont get the true picture here.
POTS will drop the bp lower but increase the pulse rate quite significantly.
