tachyacrdia when standing

tachyacrdia when standing

currently my pulse is 84 or so at rest. When i stand immediatly its 110-125 with a slight incresase in bp.  Which is 119/70. I have started a new med cymbalta. my dr suggested we wait it out that this is not dangerous. i have several ekgs one during tachy all normal, a stress test and holtermonitor within the last month. Is this dangerous? Any ideas?

This is not dangerous and may resolve over time.  This most likely is a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and is related to autonomic system dysregulation.
