My bp as of yet only spikes sometimes but spikes drastically. It can last minutes hours or days, but in between bp low 80s/60s so idl what can help me. I think a bp medicaton will make me bottom out. Its hard to live like this i can not evem go 5 min away from my house as a passenger in a car without spiking hypertensive 😢

Are you able to stand and walk normally now? And what type of blood test did they do?

[@Villainari_]

The blood test is to check for high norepinephrine in the blood that is how hyperPOTS is diagnosed where I live. I am not sure what you mean by walk normally? And standing is an issue for most POTS patients.
