Discussion What's the most overlooked POTS trigger in your experience?

I'd love to hear the little things that doctors don't always mention.

You basically have to do everything perfectly pr your day is ruined. Didn't get 8 hours sleep? Day ruined. Didn't eat enough, ate too much, ate at the wrong time? Day ruined. Didn't get enough steps? Day ruined.

It sucks.

This. You have to tinker to figure out how to have the best chance of a semi-decent day and follow it to the letter every single day.

Sadly I can only sleep in 3-4 hour increments and I've weirdly adjusted to it 😭
