Hi all, i was only diagnosed with POTs three months ago and have been struggling with symptoms whilst back in university. I’m am currently adjusting to medication and the dosages still aren’t stable whilst they find the best combination to help me manage my symptoms. the part that I am struggling most with is mobility. I find that I’m having to walk in excess of 4/5 miles a day since I’ve been advised not to drive from my doctor and had to turn to public transport to travel to and from university. Prior to starting with symptoms for POTs this would never have been a problem but now I find myself becoming increasing dizzy and weak. Luckily I have never lost consciousness whilst in public yet but I have come very close on a number of occasions. It is making my walking very unstable and it’s becoming an increasing worry. Are there any ideas on how I can improve my symptoms when walking? I stay hydrated as best I can and try to take regular breaks but it’s becoming gradually worse. Are there any suggestions?
