Along with salt tabs, fludrocortisone, increased water intake and compression hose, my doctor gave me this simple tip: Always lie down or sit with your legs raised.

Also: I'm not positive but I don't think chronic low blood pressure is a cause of POTS. The problem is a sudden drop in bp so the blood pools in your feet, not something blood pressure med would help.
