Does anyone know anything about preventing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (pots)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthostatics: Heart rate and heart rate variability is a complex balance. We have pressure sensors that send signals to our brain, that in return sends signals to the heart to speed up or slow down. (sympathetic -fight vs flight or parasympathetic -rest and relax) good hydration and electrolyte intake may help, yet many people still need to transition more slowly...
