<h1>Treatment for POTS & MVP Symptoms--What People Are Doing About It Now</h1>

POTS can be a really aggravating condition that adds daily doses of fatigue, insomnia, pain, depression, anxiety and of course, lightheadedness. Mitral valve prolapse, which can also have lightheadedness as a symptom, is often found to be the result of POTS and not an actual prolapsed or poorly functioning mitral valve. 

 

But what are people doing now to alleviate or at least improve the symptoms? A lot of physicians will prescribe drugs to alleviate some of these symptoms and some do work pretty well. Here's a short list of what a lot of POTS patients are taking for various symptoms:

Modafinil, Amphetamine-Dextroamphetamine for Fatigue

Amitriptyline, Melatonin, Zolpidem for Insomnia

Tramadol, Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen for Pain

Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Duloxetine for Depressed Mood

Alprazolam, Diazepam, Clonazepam  for Anxious Mood

There are quite a few other drugs that are commonly prescribed for POTS symptoms, but these are some of the most common, with measurable symptom improvements. There are other more natural POTS  approaches, as well, and other physicians will use these instead of drugs or in conjunction with them:

Diet and Exercise--can help with fatigue, insomnia, pain as well as mood management

 

Salt Shots--adding extra sodium to the diet can combat the common low blood pressure and help with lightheadedness, fatigue, etc.

 

Compression Stockings---these are specially-designed stockings that help prevent pooling of blood in the legs and reduce lightheadedness and other symptoms.

 

Vitamin & Herbs--there are various natural vitamin supplement regimens that can target possible deficiencies and reduce symptoms as the body's levels increase.

The best way to figure out which way to go, natural, drug therapy or a combination is to visit a POTS treatment center.
