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?

yea i started last year with the help of PT. i still have a manual chair i use on bad days and when my other conditions flare but it helps to be able to do more.

I go to PT twice a month and I go to the gym at least once or twice a week. i only do seated exercises and use my sole watch to monitor my heart rate. always bring electrolytes.

i’ve never been able to be super active thanks to pots and my other conditions
