While diet can either help manage, or in reverse can trigger certain symptoms, dysautonomia is probably not caused by anything you did or didn't do. As far as I know Primary POTS is auto immune or genetic, secondary is triggered . Of course if you increase salt and water it will help symptoms, but don't beat yourself up or run through what you did before your diagnosis and try to find a reason why. I did the same and my doctor told me exactly that. Hope you're all doing well!
