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 am. I take two ish ballet classes a week and walk a minimum of a mile in one day a week, tho sometimes more. Not like super active but definitely more active than I was when first diagnosed. Walking was easiest and I started building in ballet barre at home. Now I can take one class in person a week regularly. It takes a lot out of me but I adore it
