Living with dysautonomia means dealing with changes in blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue, heart rate fluctuations, brain fog, and so much more. Every person’s experience is different — and that’s exactly why we created this space: to learn from each other.
Daily Management Tips You Can Share
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, small strategies can make a big difference. Let’s use this thread to share what works for you. Here are a few ideas to get us started:
Hydration habits
Many members notice fewer dizzy spells when they intentionally increase daily water intake and electrolytes.
Salt strategies (if approved by your doctor)
For some people with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia, increasing salt helps maintain blood volume and steadier blood pressure.
Compression garments
Compression socks or sleeves can help reduce blood pooling in the legs — a common dysautonomia complaint.
Pacing & energy management
Learning how to recognize your limits and strategically rest can minimize crashes and “crashes after activity.”
Diet & gut health
Some members report improvement by adjusting meals — smaller meals more often, lower carbs, or monitoring triggering foods.
Mind-body techniques
Mindfulness, breathing exercises, gentle yoga, meditation or even light stretching can calm the autonomic nervous system and reduce stress.
