POTS Chat!!

I sit on the floor especially since I tend to pass out but it's kinda inconvenient so any suggestions?

Hi,

I have a lot of POTS symptoms and I went to the GP and they said I need to drink more and the I only have postail tachycardia but I am now fainting how do I convince the gp that it is pots

Hi, I have too! Extra salt, keeping hydrated, compression clothing (particularly socks), sitting down as often as I can, calf pumps (basically lifting your heels off the floor gently a few times in a row to engage your calves) <3

Hi I don't have it but have a friend who dose and finds if she sits down and croses her legs,arms and squeeze her thumbs it prevents a faint sometimes because it makes her blood gose to her vital organs hope this might help

HEY! fellow dysautonomia pal here (though you probably know that 😂)

my biggest tips for day to day coping 👇🏻

• compression socks for blood pooling

• increasing salt and water intake (electrolytes!)

• standing slowly and reducing quick changes in posture

• rest and recovery time is important <3

• then reducing stress and validating yourself because that isn't talked about enough, your mental health directly impacts your physical health and symptoms so make sure to keep that topped up too ✨
