I got Lyme Disease for a second time this past August and I have had POTS since then.

The first time I had Lyme, I also had POTS and it eventually reduced significantly with Lyme treatment.

What do you recommend for POTS?

Add salt
Add fluids
Add fludrocortisone
Add midodrine
Add beta blockers, metoprolol XL, if norepinephrine ( elevated adrenal hormone) is elevated.

Dr H says 41.5 % of his patients have POTS.

Yaay I found a solution!!

I saw my LLMD today and she started me on himalayan salt pills. I took my first dose right after the appointment and I feel a huge difference. She also wants me drinking a ton of water throughout the day

She said that dysautonomia is very common in Lyme patients
