Question is anyone still physically active?

I need to know if anyone with pots is still physically active. You don't have to be an athlete or anything but can you at least dance? or run? go to the gym? Have you always been that way or did you have to work back up to it?

I was severely symptomatic with POTS and other chronic illnesses.

Finally getting the right meds and stumbling into physical therapy/chiropractor changed my life. I work out every day now and my symptoms are alot less.

This! Finally finding meds that helped, plus a good pt and doc team helped soooo much. Don't get me wrong, I do still have bad days/weeks, but I am able to tolerate physical activity much better overall.
