Advice I wish I got when I was first diagnosed with POTS 👇 • • Don’t push through symptoms to “prove you’re fine” — crashes are real • Avoid hot showers, hot rooms, and standing still too long (they’re sneaky triggers) • Eat smaller, more frequent meals (big meals = instant regret) • Sit down early. You don’t need permission. • Track patterns, not just heart rate (sleep, food, stress, meds) • Advocate for yourself — if something feels off, it probably is • Meds can help, but it’s trial-and-erro
