Honestly I found lots of water and salty foods help with my POTs

This is completely dependent on what type of dysautonomia and if only POTS what could be causing it or what subtype someone might have, even then what works and what doesn't is very individual

Every professional will have a differing opinion for the best treatment - as there is no 'cure' for Dysautonomia - it is hard to say what works.
Some will presecribe certain medications - again - research what works and dont just take ONE persons word for what drugs will work, or what excercises will be effective - because lets face it - all of us with POTS KNOW that some days we just cannot even sit up let alone go for a gentle walk or do stretches with yoga bands or the like..... its a day to day thing and we just take it as it comes.
I personally have not found ANY treatments that have been the most effective - however I also have a number of other issues - so its hard to find that balance and know what is affecting me most on any given day. Medically - I have found that Metoprolol has probably been my best friend - it is a beta blocker and has helped regulate my heart rate - getting the right too little and the HR is too high, too much and its too low - its kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.... as I said - its helped regulate it a little better but doesnt 'fix' the problem.
REST is my big thing that helps me most - with all my chronic pain, fatigue and other issues - if I am not rested - I cannot function and my POTS is much much worse.
