Midodrine is a peripheral alpha-1 adrenergic agonist that increases vascular tone, used to treat orthostatic hypotension. In Long COVID, it is used to manage dysautonomia symptoms, particularly postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
I mostly take them to counteract the low blood pressure caused by betablockers, but it does also help with tachycardia when sitting up. It seems my heart doesn't need to work as hard to keep my blood flowing
