Hydration
These capsules have been a reliable part of managing my POTS and presyncope symptoms. I put one in my med minder for every day so I don't forget to take these! They are a saving grace for presyncope episodes and help control my POTS.
Vitassium Electrolyte Capsules, 100 Salt Pills
Liquid IV uses unique cellular transport technology to rehydrate faster. They are easy to pop a few in my purse. I don't normally go sugar-free, but their normal electrolytes have a lot of sugar.
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - White Peach
These were recommended to me by a nurse. These are my favorite flavor, and I like that these combine immune support with faster rehydration.
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - Tangerine
Relief within minutes! My go-to when I keep getting presyncope episodes. They’re easy to carry and work way faster than trying to down a salty snack or drink.

for when you need the extra salt for those really high symptom days
Vitassium Electrolyte Capsules, 750mg Sodium
Compression
I wear these daily to help manage my POTS and presyncope. They've become a non-negotiable part of my routine—definitely check with your doctor to make sure they’re a good fit and compression level for you.
NEWZILL 20-30 mmHg Compression Socks
The footless design keeps my feet cool and allows me to wear sandals comfortably. They provide the right amount of compression to help with blood flow and reduce my presyncope episodes. If you're considering them, it's a good idea to consult with you...
Doc Miller Compression Calf Sleeve, 20-30mmHg
Hot Flash Support
Always in my purse for when heat flashes decide to take over! You can bend it so it can sit on a desk or table too for hands-off use (: It is convenient to have a flashlight and backup power bank too!
JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Mini Handheld USB Fan (Green)
amazing for when the hot flashes hit, and available in so many patterns! They stay cool for awhile. These were a hit when I worked at REI, didn't think I would be here now using them all the time, but here I am!
