A member asked:
For hypovolemic pots, would compression stockings ultimately exacerbate the problem, since more blood will be shuttled to kidneys to filter out?

That is not really: the way it works although I understand why you might think it. Compression stockings will have no direct effect on your volume status but will help you to avoid instantaneous pooling in your lower extremities when standing and thereby hypotensive syncope or tachycardia.
