Nin Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Do people with hyperadrenergic pots wear compression stockings. Just wondering as I'm sure I'm hyperadrenergic pots but I can't be without compression socks. Tried it not long ago, started walking for 2 mins and was in a mess. I thought because hyperadrenergic pots is too much constriction the compression socks would cause more constriction...am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi @Ninnot sure i can answer your question directly. What i do know is that i know several nurses that wear compression stockings they help with leg fatigue most have to work 12 hr shifts. I have worn these just after my bypass surgery but was due to the edema. I have seen relief leg wise but is contradicted due to my health conditions. Hopefully a site admin can answer your question to the hyperadrenergic pots constriction. I did not get my question answered regarding nOH and POTS Regardless take your health care into your own hands and due what makes a difference. I would also consult your DR before making changes.

Pistol Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 @Nin - yes, you should still wear compression stockings. In some cases of HPOTS the blood vessels first go too limp and that is why the sympathetic NS kicks out so much adrenaline - in an attempt to compensate for the vasodilation. So if you wear compression hose you can prevent this from starting n the first place! The only time you would not wear them is if you have problems with circulation in your feet. i have Raynauds syndrome in my feet, for example, so I cannot wear them.

Thanks Mike0 for getting back to me. I'll just keep wearing them as I do feel like they help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
