A member asked:
I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, pitting ankle edema and feel faint. my life is sedentary due to being overweight, is any way i can improve the pots without exercise? i can't function because of the illness?

Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are a problem for many medical issues. Even walking for 15 minutes can improve your health. Start slow and short and build up to longer distances as you can. This will improve circulation, lessening edema, increase your stamina, help you lose weight and ultimately decrease the symptoms form POTS. Talk to your Dr about additional therapies available.
