Going Out: A POTS Survival Guide (summer-friendly)
-handheld fans, battery operated or chargeable, fit easily into bags and can help cool you down
-bring electrolytes/a drink when you go out
-vitassium fastchews are amazing if you’re dizzy & need hydration, sodium, increase your blood pressure, ect.
-have salty snacks in your bag
-ginger chews or ginger Dramamine are great for nausea, and so are a product called “sea bands” (whatever works for you), it can also be reassuring to have a “sick bag” with you, just in case
-while by no means a necessity, it can be nice to have some kind of makeup remover or moist towelette on hand if you experience hot flashes or getting clammy…also recommend having chapstick for if you get a dry mouth
Hope this helps somebody!
