janiedelite Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 compression hose and/or abdominal compression can be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlehnardt Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 thanks, i do try to drink 3 liters a day but it usually is more like 2 and my salt i try to get anywhere from 4-8 grams of salt. i tried florinef and it did not work for me at all. i have not tried compression stockings yet but i have been meaning to. my bp is just low today and makes me feel so bad cant even get out of bed. another question? i feel like i am not getting enough oxygen, do many of you have an oxgygen sensor at home to check? also is it just me feeling like i am not getting enough oxygen or do pots patients have low oxygen levels too?

WyomingGal Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 i didn't admit it for awhile, but compression stockings are amazing!! I have been wearing them on and off for a couple of years (30-40mm). Now that my thyroid is stabilizing a bit, I have been wearing them a little less and just got a pair with lower compression because I have been getting some high BP readings. They really gave me much more energy, comfortable standing time, and less fatigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 in some the apparatus for increasing blood volume via salt intake is faulty meaning that without medication the blood volume will stay inappropriately low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
