[quote=Anonymous]This is OP again. A PP suggested I ask AI what’s going on. AI says that overexertion (which happened to DD this summer) can severely worsen POTS dysfunction in regulating blood flow. This leads to increased fluid accumulation throughout the body. It goes on to say that people with POTS have poor constriction of their blood vessels when standing. This causes blood to pool. Increased pressure from this pooling forces fluids to leak from blood vessels into the surrounding tissues. The shift of fluids out of blood vessels into tissues results in low circulating blood volume, which further exacerbates POTS symptoms. AI recommends the usual things like compression hose, keep feet elevated, increase water and salt. DD also regularly goes for therapeutic massage, which seems to help with circulation. She has been trying not to over exert, and will have to be even more careful. [/quote]
