Hyperandergenic POTS (hPOTS) here ✋ You need more sodium. Salt. Try this first take 2 and DM me in the morning: ⚠️ USE CHECKOUT CODE "POTS30" ON LIQUID-IV.COM FOR 30£% OFF! ⚠️ OR make it yourself very easily: [ LEMON ELECTROLYTE ] 1 C - Lemon Juice (approximately six to eight lemons) 1/2 C - Honey / Maple Syrup 1 tsp - Pink Himalayan / Sea Salt (or other iodized salts only) 1/2 tsp - Baking Soda → Place in a pint jar or container. Stir to combine (the lemon juice and baking soda will react, so stir it down). Keep concentrate in the fridge. This can be added to 1 gallon of water, or add 1-2 tablespoons to each 8 ounces (1 cup) of water. [ LEMON - GINGER ELECTROLYTE ] 2 C - Mineral / Sparkling Water 1–2 T - Honey/Maple 2 T - Lemon Jus 2" - Ginger, grated & squeeze the jus ¼ tsp - Pink Himalayan Salt [ MINT - LIME ELECTROLYTE ] 1-½ C - Sparkling Water ½ C - Ice ¼x - Lime Zest (muddle with the salt) 10–12x - Mint Leaves ¼ tsp - Pink Himalayan Salt [ STRAWBERRY - MINT ELECTROLYTE ] ½ C - fresh Strawberries, sliced 1–2 qts - Water To taste - Mint Sprigs ¼ tsp - Pink Himalayan Salt (or Irish Sea Salt / other iodized salt) [ ORANGE ELECTROLYTE ] 1-¼ C - Water ½ C - OJ ¼ tsp - Pink Himalayan Salt To taste - Sweetener (honey, maple, simple syrup, whatever) ♡

SALT. when my POTS is acting up, I send hubby out to get french fries and a caffeinated drink. it helps with the dizziness and the migraine I usually get after a POTS episode. also always have someone there to spot me when I try to stand in case I pass out lol

How is Wise liked twice but not my comment? Lol c'mon y'all—engage! It helps to put the more relevant things in the thread previews ♡ Also @Alayna — check our comparison, we actually match on basically everything humanly possible. Severe Combined ADHD-ASD (social anxiety ✓) GAD, Depression, PTSD with EDS & POTS (and a load of other dysautonomic issues).
