What are some of the main medical treatments for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome?

There are no standard treatments for POTS. Rather, treatment is focused on decreasing heart rate, increasing blood volume, and/or stabilizing blood pressure. Some of the most commonly prescribed drugs include mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone) vasopressin receptor agonists (e.g., desmopressin), beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol and propranolol), and alpha-agonists (e.g., midodrine). One liter of normal saline given intravenously over an hour also seems to be helpful, but this therapy isn’t recommended for long-term use. ^[1]
