For many people who struggle with POTS or another form of dysautonomia hydration is essential as it helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Proworks water bottles come in a variety of sizes and colours, so there will be something for everyone.
In addition to the water bottle, electrolyte dissolvable tablets are great for helping POTS sufferers. I have found these are the best value of their kind on amazon and taste great.
For people with who struggle to walk longer distances, a lightweight stool can help you take things at your own place. A stool can assist you when visiting places that would usually be too challenging, that may lack benches.
A small bag has been one of the most useful additions to my days out. Lighter and less restrictive than a rucksack, having a small packed lunch with a 330ml can to drink has helped me go out on longer trips with less to carry.
Heat causes blood vessels to widen, so for those with POTS, this can exacerbate tachycardia by forcing the heart to work harder and faster to pump the blood throughout the body. A fan has helped me to keep cool and keep my symptoms under control.
For me photography was the thing that got me outside after my health struggles. A neck strap is great as it can free up your hands as you are walking.
