  1. No matter what I search, I can't seem to find any information on how people with Hyperadrenergic POTS respond to flying. I have a short flight coming up in January (approximately 2 to 2 and a half hours) and I haven't flown since developing POTS. I struggle with feeling faint from postural changes (laying down, standing up) due to increasing heart and blood pressure. I'm on a beta blocker to help control it, and to be honest, I'm lucky enough that I don't have very many truly bad days unless I get REALLY dehydrated, stressed/sick, take a medication that effects my POTS, or am having hormone issues. I don't know what to expect. I'm hoping to not feel any difference at all as long as I stay hydrated. I discussed this with my doctor, and for my POTS subtype, compression clothing wouldn't help. She said I'd just sort of have to fly and see what happens. My boyfriend is flying with me on the way up. Anyone with Hyper POTS have any experience flying? Any sensations I should anticipate or tips besides staying hydrated and wiggling around when I can?
