IV Hydration for POTS
What IV Saline Does for POTS, and When It Is Not the Answer

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an abnormal heart rate increase after sitting up or standing. It is a form of dysautonomia, an autonomic nervous system disorder, which controls many involuntary body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.

Expanding blood volume is a real part of POTS management, and IV saline is one way to do it. The Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement on POTS says it is reasonable to treat a short-term decompensation with an acute infusion of up to 2 liters of saline, and reports that 1 liter over about an hour can reduce orthostatic tachycardia and ease symptoms for several hours, sometimes up to two days. The same statement is equally clear that regular infusions are not recommended and that chronic or repeated intravenous cannulation is potentially harmful. So we will treat a bad day. We will not sell you a standing course of drips for POTS.

Benefits of IV Hydration for POTS
What It Does, and What It Does Not

One of the main symptoms of POTS is orthostatic intolerance, the inability to tolerate standing for long periods. Low blood volume is part of the picture for many people with POTS, and that is what an infusion addresses, temporarily. Here is what that does and does not mean.

  • Short-Term Blood Volume Expansion

    An infusion of saline expands blood volume, which is often low in POTS. Expert centers report that 1 liter over about an hour reduces orthostatic tachycardia and eases symptoms for several hours, and sometimes for a couple of days. It is short-term relief, not a change in the underlying condition.

  • Relief on a Bad Day

    Where a flare has left you unable to stand, work or get through the day, an infusion can take the edge off it for a while. That is worth having. It is not the same as something that reduces how often flares happen.

  • The Risk of Repeated IV Access

    We are not going to tell you a drip has no downside. Repeated intravenous cannulation carries real risks, including infection and vein damage, and that is the reason the consensus statement advises against regular infusions for POTS. An infusion now and then is one thing. A routine is another.

  • Not a Substitute for Your Treatment Plan

    Salt and fluid intake, compression garments, graded exercise and, where your physician prescribes them, medications are what manage POTS over time. An infusion sits alongside those. It does not replace them.

Understanding POTS Symptoms

The symptoms of POTS can vary widely among individuals but often include:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness: Especially upon standing up.
  • Rapid heartbeat: An increase of 30 beats per minute or more within 10 minutes of standing.
  • Fainting: Occurs in severe cases due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
  • Fatigue: Persistent tiredness that is not relieved by rest.
  • Temperature Regulation Issues: Feeling excessively hot or cold.
  • Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing normally.
  • Headaches: Frequent or severe headaches.
  • Nausea: Feeling sick to the stomach.
  • Abdominal pain: Discomfort or pain in the abdominal area.
  • Chest pain: Discomfort or pain in the chest.
  • Brain fog: Difficulty concentrating and memory issues.

Learn More About POTS

Common causes and available treatments:

The exact causes of POTS are not fully understood, but it is believed to be linked to a variety of factors, including:

  • Genetics: A family history of POTS or other forms of dysautonomia.
  • Automimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus or Sjögren’s syndrome.
  • Infections: Viral or bacterial infections that affect the autonomic nervous system.
  • Trauma: Physical injury or severe emotional stress.
  • Hormonal changes: Such as those occurring during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

While there is currently no cure for POTS, several treatments can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. These include:

  • Lifestyle changes: Increasing salt and fluid intake, wearing compression garments, and engaging in regular, gentle exercise.
  • Medications: To help regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and other symptoms.
  • Physical therapy: Specialized exercises to improve circulation and muscle tone.
  • Dietary adjustments: Limit caffeine and alcohol and eat frequent meals to avoid blood pressure drops.

IV Hydration for POTS

There is no cure for POTS, and a drip is not one. What an infusion of saline can do is expand blood volume and take the edge off a short-term decompensation, which the Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement considers a reasonable thing to do with up to 2 liters. The same statement says regular infusions are not recommended, and that repeated cannulation is potentially harmful. That is where we stop. If you are having frequent flares, the conversation that helps is with the physician managing your POTS, about salt and fluid intake, compression, exercise and medication. Vida-Flo has been doing IV hydration since 2012, with over 1,000,000 treatments delivered, and every treatment is given by a Registered Nurse under the protocols of our licensed physician medical directors.

We offer all new clients our introductory ReVIDAlizer Treatment for only $119, which includes the Core IV Hydration Fluid and Two Essential Boosts.

IV therapy works by using an intravenous (IV) fluid drip to deliver saline solution through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This saline solution may also include medications and vitamin supplements tailored to the individual patient.

During your therapy session, a medical professional will insert an IV line attached to a bag of saline solution. This bag is hung above the patient's head, using gravity to regulate the flow of fluids into the bloodstream. Compared to a syringe or other forced technique, gravity allows for a gradual introduction of fluids.

While the time frame of a single treatment varies from person to person, a session typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. There are exceptions to this timeframe, such as with our NAD IV treatments, which generally take 1 to 2 hours per session.

IV drip therapy is highly effective in delivering nutrients, vitamins, and fluids directly to your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, this method bypasses the digestive system, allowing your body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients without any loss during digestion. As a result, vitamins and nutrients are made immediately available to your cells, accelerating the benefits.

At Vida-Flo, we offer a variety of specialized IV blends designed to meet specific health goals. We also provide the option of custom-blended IV treatments to target your individual needs.

The duration of hydration therapy's benefits can vary depending on individual health factors and lifestyle choices. Some of our treatments, such as medications, provide immediate (but shorter-term) results. Our vitamin solutions are processed over a longer period, offering longer-lasting benefits.

Maintaining a regular schedule of treatments can help extend these benefits, supporting sustained hydration and improved health over time.
