Your blood pressure drops and your heart rate will be up when you\u2019re standing, then adding exercise to all of that only brings your heart rate up even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Solutions I\u2019ve found:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercise! I know it feels very counterintuitive but you can\u2019t live your whole life on the couch\u2026only like 50%. You really should exercise, start slow 5 minute walk, even if it\u2019s around your house. Build up add 5 minutes a week, once you feel strong enough to walk consistently for an hour then add yoga or another low impact exercise and do the same thing. Build that one up to 30 minutes and then add another one. Cardio is really good for POTS so concentrate on that. I picked yoga as well because I can do a full 30 minute workout on the floor if I need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Works Cited<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fu, Qi, and Benjamin D.
