No improvement with IV saline for POTS symptoms

Hiya! I recently started IV saline (1L, 1x per week) for a month and a half, but I never saw any improvement from it. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m still trying to find a treatment to ease some of my POTS symptoms, but so far I haven’t found anything other than rest and elevating my legs.

Can you help? Connect today

sometimes drinking fluids simply just isn’t enough especially if ur symptoms are very debilitating. Iv means it goes straight into the bloodstream meaning it’s the fastest and most effective kind of hydration you can get.

Catmom1995, thanks! I’ve been drinking around a gallon a day for around 7 months, but unfortunately I haven’t seen any change in symptoms from it. I’ll definitely keep trying though :)
