I second that. Doctors will all set their own treatment plans for you, but salt, compression, electrolytes, and hydration are the main management ways on your own. Maybe a smart watch or something to measure you pulse often

It's more about managing 5hings to avoid, my biggest triggers are heat, hunger, and marijuana.

If one is already coming on, finding an adequate place to sit down is the absolute most important thing.
