Hey! Not sure how you're doing now, but I have POTS too and I'd like to offer some advice, if it helps! I started yoga about a month ago, and it has actually helped so much. The very first session was on a good day and my tachycardia was minimal. I have other chronic illnesses too and my body is quite deconditioned. Yoga has helped restore some strength, which is honestly such a milestone for me! I've found that doing yoga also helps prevent the flares! However, if they do come on, I know I need to stop, or only do restorative yoga from YouYube videos at home for no more than 10 minutes. Doing a long class in this state would definitely make it worse. I know I am so much better, but I feel my POTS every day- flights of stairs will send my heart racing, hills of any incline are a challenge. It's all about the baby steps- the flares will not leave for some time, possibly years, but working in between them has helped to put them off, if that makes sense!
Thanks for this honey, good info. Good luck to you - I am wondering if a flexibar might help us sufferers, google it. I have one and am going to give it a try xxx
