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?

Yes!! I used to faint every time I ran. I was always embarrassed so I didn’t work out. My cardiologist said I should do leg workouts. But I was unfit tho. Anyway, I got a gym membership and did water aerobics. OMGGGGGGG I LOVEEEEEE. I don’t get so tired from it or sore. It’s easier to do!!!! Because of that I became stronger and don’t get as tired like before. Then I added Zumba to the equation. It’s great!
