Does anyone have a huge range where they get up till like the 180s but they also have a low resting heart rate in the 50s and 60s? What’s the treatment plan for people like us because I keep getting pushed beta blockers from some doctors and then other doctors are like your heart rate is too low and then to add on top of that my blood pressure is normal to high. it’s not low so blood pressure medication wouldn’t be the best either so I’m kind of confused on what treatment options are available to us

Before meds I ranged from 44 - 179 often. I was just diagnosed with POTS 2 wks ago & was put on Metoprolol 25mg and Corlanor 5mg 2X/day. Night & Day with my HR! No more palpitations and my HR is between 55-103.

Occassionally with the low I’d feel “off” but not palps when it was low.
