How is your heart rate and your blood pressure? I have POTS from Autonomic Neuropathy.

I have improved greatly but I was terribly ill. I have Peripheral Neuropathy that is often part of Autonomic Neuropathy.
Thanks!

My heart rate seems to be good, just sitting around it is in the low 50s, and when laying down it dips down into the high 30s.
My blood pressure seems to be fluctuating from to high to to low when it is tested (I dont have a way to test it at home).
I get the blackouts when I stand and start walking or when I bend down. Standing up fast then sitting back down makes my heart feel like its going to explode!
I have also had episodes where it feels like my heart is fluttering, and times it feels like it is beating one really hard beat, like it is punching me
