CAlgary SAlt for POTS

Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) have decreased plasma volume. Current POTS guidelines recommend \~10 g of salt and 2-3 L of fluid per day. Despite this recommendation, there is no long term data evaluating the use of salt in POTS. This randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial will evaluate a high salt diet, compared to a normal salt diet over a period of 3 months. Participants will complete 3 in lab evaluations including autonomic function testing, tilt table testing, blood volume and urine sodium evaluation, plasma catecholamine measurements and and cytokine measurements.
