POTS Hacks
If you’re living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), these hacks can help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Shower Stool
A stool for the shower can help reduce heat and standing triggers, providing a more comfortable bathing experience.
Wheelie saddle stool
Perfect for the kitchen, this stool allows mobility while reducing strain during cooking and other activities.
Electrolytes
Essential for those with POTS, electrolytes help maintain hydration and regulate blood pressure. Vitassium Fast Chews are my favourite
Cooling Gadgets
Combat heat triggers with cooling tools like a headache headband or ice roller.
Gin gins
Ginger hard candy or chews that help alleviate nausea, a common POTS symptom.
Visible Armband & App
Track tachycardia and identify activities that exacerbate symptoms with this helpful tool.
Calf Pumps & Fist Clenches
Performing these exercises increases blood flow before standing, reducing dizziness and blood pooling.
Smaller Meals More Frequently
Eating smaller meals throughout the day can help prevent digestive issues caused by blood pooling in the stomach.
Hydration
Drinking 2-3 Liters of water daily is crucial for managing POTS symptoms and staying hydrated.
Compression socks
Compression socks support blood circulation and reduce pooling, making them essential for POTS sufferers.
