tips from Fellow Patients
Make sure to add as much salt into your diet as possible. You can add salt to your foods or take salt pills (salt helps you to retain fluids).
It is crucial to hydrate - drink as much water as you can to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
You may experience greatly increased anxiety due to lifestyle and brain chemical changes.
Dysautonomia International database has a wide range of specialists that would be willing to help you with managing your POTS.
Try to limit or manage your stress. Stress can worsen POTS attacks. Cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, meditation can help you manage stress.
The more sleep you get, the better. Over-exhaustion can worsen POTS symptoms.
Daily exercise helps moderate blood flow, and good circulation is key to keeping your symptoms under control.
