Most of the women I know are anemic so I just thought it was normal.&nbsp; According to myheart.com some POTS patients have lower blood volume which means that they are unable to carry as much iron as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" 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>Eat more iron. I&#8217;m going to be honest I&#8217;ve been anemic for years and I eat a lot of iron rich foods. This is not a cure all but it does help.&nbsp; If your anemia is bad your doctor will tell you to take iron pills,&nbsp; don&#8217;t do this without your doctor telling you,&nbsp; there are a lot of side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of iron rich foods. I think people automatically think of red meat, I&#8217;m not the biggest red meat fan so I tend to get my iron from vegetables. Some high iron foods are broccoli, spinach, lentils, dark chocolate, seeds, beans, and eggs. Cheerios have a lot of iron in them too, so you have plenty of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Work Cited<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCauses of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia \u2022 MyHeart.\u201d <em>MyHeart<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/myheart.net\/pots-syndrome\/causes-of-pots\">https:\/\/myheart.net\/pots-syndrome\/causes-of-pots<\/a>\/.
