B1 (thiamine) deficiency is a common cause of dysautonomia. Unfortunately, for some people injections or cream will be needed as their genetic makeup doesn't allow them to assimilate it. Putting some powder under the tongue and allowing it to melt bypasses digestion as well.
I had bad heartbeats after getting up and some shakiness, especially bad at night, if I had to go to the bathroom. It took a week or so to become better when putting some B1 powder under the tongue 3-4 times a day. But I also took cayenne 2 capsules 2-3 times daily, which I felt helped a lot too.
I also take B complex, B2 (for migraines) and B12.
Mine was triggered by 18 day juice fast, and severe stress.I think that made bad B1 status even worse. I haven't tried Butcher's broom herb, but that is supposed to be good as well.

My teenage son was recently diagnosed with dysautonomia. We are at a functional neurology center that, despite my skepticism, is helping. I don't have enough mileage to call any of these a 'cure' but we are experimenting with - butcher's broom (herb) 2x per day, building up calf muscles to better move blood, hydration drinks, and red light therapy behind the knee.

If blood pressure drops, it is not POTS. POTS comes with many other debilitating symptoms. Not only teenagers get it. Cervical cancer vaccine causes POTS. Managing pots is very difficult. There is no one size fits all.
I have tried everything there’s to try in alternative medicine field, from supplements to modalities, nothing worked for me. I have it for 10 years. Only atenolol allows me to semi function, but it only addresses heart rate elevation, not the other 50 symptoms that come with POTS.
