Looking for Exercise Plan for POTS

Has anyone had success with an exercise plan for pots? My cardiologist recommended that I do some exercise but didn't give much guidance. How did you start doing it? Some days I can't even keep myself sitting upright let alone walking and I would like to be able to go up stairs, would this help?

Recumbent bike is pretty good also leg exercises while laying down

I've found a few nice beginner workouts by searching for pots exercises on YouTube. They're good because the exercises are done lying down and they focus on strengthening your legs and core.

I use a recumbent bike every now and then while reading for about 15 minutes. (I’ve gotten to the point where I’m able to do 15 minutes, but I began with 5. ) I mainly try to leg and core exercises while in bed and laying down on the couch. It’s not much but, every little bit helps. :)
