Things that can help with POTS/Dysautonomia

A lot of people with EDS have POTS also called Dysautonomia. I have it and I have picked up these tips from EDS sites and experience.

Some things that can help are:

• Salt Tablets- I have to take 6 a day. They have improved my POTS so much. 
• Gatorade or Powerade- Some have said it makes the Tachycardia worse. I have had Gatorade before and been okay.
• Gastrolyte or Hydralyte- These are great- especially for the days I am really bad. 
• Compression Stockings- I have never tried these
• Florinef- These are a prescription medication which raises BP
• Eat Regularly- This will stop you being dizzy and weak
• Water- It is very important to drink lots of water to help with your hydration

I hope this helps- I know it is very basic.
