Are you currently doing anything to manage it right now? My doctor just gave me a paper at the beginning and walked out.

You don't have to tell anyone right away. My advice is to research as much as you can so you can advocate for your needs and tell your family how you want to be supported. It is totally scary to tell friends and family but it will help you form a powerful support system. Sending all the love ❤️

Do your own research so you can effectively advocate for yourself. You are your best advocate. I got a smart watch to consistently monitor and log my heart rate (my doctor wanted me wearing a heart monitor all the time and this was the compromise). I will add a Liquid IV packet to my water bottle everyday, sometimes I’ll have two if I’m spending a lot of time in the sun or sweating. Your blood sugar levels will have the biggest effect on your symptoms, so make sure you are eating something with fiber or protein at least every three hours. Keep note of things (I.e. food, activities, temperatures) that make your symptoms better or worse. For example, I can’t sweep or mop the floor without passing out, hot showers or hot tubs make my vertigo immensely worse (especially the jets), and bending over makes my vision go dark. This one may seem unproductive, but daily cardio. My preferred is rowing, but I also take lots of walks and swim laps. It will help build up your tolerance and lessen symptoms., though it may feel very unproductive at first. Don’t be afraid to take it easy. You know your own limits better than anyone else.

There are plenty of good resources. My favorite is dysautonomia international. They also have a podcast called POTScast. The general lifestyle items they tell you to try are hydrate(more than you think you need), increase salt intake(some resources say different amounts, I just eat more salt on bad symptoms days), also keeping yourself cool in the heat.

Someone on this platform explained POTS as "being allergic to gravity". I liked that verbiage. I've used it. It seems to work well. Everyone knows allergies fluctuate in intensity, symptoms, and everything is aggreviated by gravity
