Hello! I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. I was wondering if any of you know whether or not wearing a chest binder would negatively affect POTS? I would really like to buy a binder and start binding, but I do not know if it would negatively affect my POTS. I know compression affects blood flow, so I don't want to start using a chest binder if it will just make me more dizzy. Do any of you know whether it is safe for people with POTS to bind? Thank you so much for reading this and helping :)
