So, I went to one of my specialists today. One of the ones dealing with my POTS. So we've upped my fludrocortisone, which is a steroid meant to hold sodium in my system. We're adding on a salt tablet. And he wants me to work on an aerobic exercise system.
I guess there have been studies in people with POTS that they can strengthen the heart with aerobic exercise. Normally people with POTS have smaller hearts, less able to handle stress and exercise. But with aerobic exercise, they can enlarge the heart and get stronger. Which makes sense.
I have a couple of dance workout videos I want to try out. See if that can get my heart going. I'll obviously listen to my body if it tells me to stop. But it's something.
