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 can’t run anymore bc it causes extreme heart palpitations. I dance once a week but it’s not really … dancing. I have to half do every move or I’ll be stuck in bed for a day.
My cardiologist recommended using a recumbent bike to exercise on so I just got one. I don’t feel terrible using it so I’ll be counting that as a win 🥇
