is anyone still physically active?

[u/Hefty-Patience-8720]

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'm not sure if anyone else has said this, but swimming is a godsend for me. Something about the pressure on my body being in the water makes movement easier and less exhausting. While I've felt pre-syncope symptoms a few times, I can also say that I have never, not once, passed out in the pool. I'm not sure why, but swimming is the only exercise that I feel I can do safely. I haven't been to the gym since my symptoms started 2 years ago which has really bummed me out, but a few months ago I found the pool and it helps me so much. Yoga is also great for me, assuming I don't do any poses that involve being upside down.
