[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may want to have your DD checked for POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). It is exacerbated by heat and is prevalent in teen/tween girls. The recommendations for hydrating, especially with salt/electrolyte enhanced drinks, would be part of the solution. My DD is currently using Nuun tablets (I check for the flavors that are especially high in sodium). Does your daughter have low blood pressure at all? I would make sure that your DD works out at least 3 times a week indoors in a climate-controlled environment. [/quote] PP here, with the DS with medical issues - which happen to include minor POTS although we hope that's resolved some this winter - summer heat will tell. How are Nuuns working for your DD? What flavors does she like that are high sodium?[/quote]
