AmyK Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I recently had a virus (tough on us POTS folks I know😏). Didn't eat much for days...now still not eating much. I normally exercise 5 days per week which always helps my symptoms. Could the virus andnl not exercising make my pressure go high? I had even taken a bit of a benzo and arginine in the am which usually helps. I am 38 yr old woman with 4 children. Maybe just needing to exercise again? Thoughts? Anyone else experience this?

Pistol Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I know from experience that any illness and the accompanying inactivity makes my POTS much worse, and yes - it makes my BP go up as well. For me it is always extremely important to go back to exercising as soon as I can, although I always have to start all over again with a few exercises daily and then go slowly back up to my usual abilities. Do not overdo it or it can back fire!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
