Managing Symptoms: Seeking Tips and Tools

Does anyone have any special tools/devices that help them manage symptoms? Ex. I use a neck fan on hot days to keep cool to make sure the heat doesn’t trigger a fainting episode. Just looking for more things that will make me feel better regularly or offer a little reprieve.

Same from me with the little fan. It clips on your belt or pants and blows up your shirt. They are on Amazon.

raise the head of your bed! there's a lot of research on this, i don't know all of it but, raising the part of your bed where your head is, (like a hospital bed), has shown significant help in pots patients. compression socks, works well on long days out :) i have an apple watch to track my heart rate through the day, i understand this is not easy accessible to others. there are other devices to track your heart rate. i'm not sure how much those cost. :) i carry those ice packs that you pop & shake on hot days. i always always have a bottle of water on me. drink mix-ins with (a lot of) salt :)
