Glad to hear the Lopressor is helping.  Just watch that BP!

If you passed the tilt table, postural hypotension is mostly ruled out.  Let us know what you find out!  Take care!

The doctor thinks it may be POTS but i passed the tilt table test. I did pass out and my.bp dropped to 60/40...they said maybe pots or orthostatic hypotention. Yes beta blocker has been helping! But makes me very sleepy and feel very foggy in the head.

Have you officially diagnosed with POTS?  Is the beta blocker helping?  What did the doc put you on?  Inderal (propanolol)?
