POTS Roadmap

You finally have the word for what's been happening to you - POTS, or dysautonomia - after months or years of a racing heart, dizziness, and bone-deep fatigue being called anxiety, deconditioning, or 'just stress.' You did the research yourself, found the specialist yourself, and sat through the tilt-table test yourself. Now you're holding a diagnosis and a one-page handout, and nobody has actually told you what to do starting tomorrow morning. The POTS Roadmap is the clear, practical first-months guide this diagnosis usually doesn't come with. Inside, you'll learn: What POTS actually is, how it's really diagnosed, and how it differs from anxiety and simple deconditioning The post-viral and post-COVID connection, and why this wave of patients looks different from the textbook description Exactly how to structure salt and fluid loading, with real targets instead of vague 'drink more water' advice How to get properly measured and fitted for compression garments instead of guessing at a size online A recumbent-to-upright exercise reconditioning ladder that builds tolerance without triggering a crash How to prepare for cardiology and neurology appointments - and push back constructively when you're not being heard Written for the newly diagnosed patient who is done being told it's all in their head, and ready for an actual plan.
