The Benefits of IV Hydration for POTS Patients

September 11, 2023

POTS is a debilitating, chronic condition that affects between one and three million people in the U.S. In this post, we'll explore the potential benefits of IV hydration for POTS patients and why it's becoming an increasingly popular treatment option.

A woman running outdoors - learn how IV hydration can help with POTS symptoms.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome commonly known as POTS, is a type of autonomic nervous system dysfunction that affects the body's ability to regulate blood pressure and heart rate. This is a chronic condition that can lead to a host of symptoms including lightheadedness, fatigue, and fainting. There currently is no cure for POTS, but there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life.

One of the most effective treatments for POTS is IV hydration.

What is IV hydration?

Intravenous hydration, also known as IV hydration, is a medical treatment that delivers fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. Typically, this method of hydration is used to deliver fluids to patients who are experiencing dehydration or other medical conditions that require the rapid restoration of fluids. POTS patients for example would benefit from such treatment. It is a safe and effective way to quickly replenish the body's fluids and nutrients. It is much quicker than drinking water which would have to pass through the digestive system before it became helpful.

How does IV hydration benefit POTS patients?

POTS patients may find IV hydration a game-changer for symptom management. One of the hallmark symptoms of POTS is orthostatic intolerance - this is an inability to tolerate standing up for prolonged periods. It is often caused by low blood pressure, which can be exacerbated by dehydration. The use of IV hydration provides POTS patients with a fast and effective way to replenish missing fluids and electrolytes, which can in turn help to prevent the drop in blood pressure. Appropriate hydration and stable blood pressure lessen orthostatic intolerance.

  1. Improves daily quality of life
  2. A chronic condition POTS can greatly impact a patient's general quality of life. Symptoms such as fatigue, lightheadedness, and fainting are just a few of the issues that can make everyday tasks challenging. IV hydration may help POTS patients to feel better and be more functional, improving their daily quality of life. Case studies have shown that IV hydration is especially necessary in patients who are present with daily symptoms. These symptoms may include fatigue, joint pain, dizziness, brain fog, and migraines.

  3. Fewer side effects
  4. A huge benefit of IV hydration is that it is considered to have fewer side effects than other POTS treatment options. Unlike medications IV hydration is essentially water with some essential and helpful vitamins and minerals. Many POTS medications do have the potential to cause adverse side effects or interact with other medications. IV hydration typically has no side effects, except occasional mild discomfort when the needle is inserted.

  5. Cost-Effective
  6. IV hydration treatments are vastly more cost-effective compared to ongoing pharmacological research and therapy. POTS sufferers typically require ongoing treatment to manage symptoms, which over time can be expensive. IV hydration can be a more affordable option, which is especially important for patients who lack insurance.

Conclusion:

At present there's no cure for POTS, the focus therefore is on symptom management. When this is done correctly it can truly change the life of a POTS patient. IV hydration is an effective treatment option for POTS patients which helps to replenish fluids, ease symptoms, and enhance quality of life. It is advised that you talk to your healthcare provider to learn more about whether IV hydration is a good treatment option to manage your POTS symptoms. With IV hydration, the daily lives of POTS patients can improve dramatically.

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.
