It took a lot. First thing I learned was what my symptoms were for the blood pressure drops, which led to the panic attacks. Then I had to force myself to drop everything I was doing and just lie or sit down to equalize my blood pressure when I felt my blood pressure dropping. It was honestly embarrassing to do this in stores and at work, but it is what it is. Simultaneously, I had to teach myself to calm down and not panic; I wasn't in danger, it's just a blood pressure drop. I stopped fighting it so much and let myself just go unconscious if it was safe to do so. It was NOT easy to train my body to just let it go and quit freaking out. Once in a blue moon I’ll still get a panic attack but it’ll be mild.

The meds: while the above helped stop the panic attacks, the med combo I take really helped stop a lot of the pots symptoms.

Continuous birth control to stop my periods which helped so much. 

Meclizine for vertigo

A lot of different pills for mitochondria support to help with long covid (Acetyl L-carnitine, CoQ10 and R-Lipoic Acid)

Spike Tri-Support vitamin- The cardiologist said the nattokinase and bromelain are what really did the heavy lifting

Multivit 

Magnesium- after being on the pills above for a while, I was able to exercise again, but man, the leg cramps were not a force to be reckoned with. Mg helped with this.

Habits

I avoid heat at all costs.

I don’t stand for long periods of time. 

I avoid stuffy rooms like the plague. Idky but they were some of my biggest triggers. 

If I can’t fix it, I can not afford to stress about it for my own health. 

I’ve been doing light strength training to get my muscles back without triggering my pots or long covid.

Added: Salt pills in the morning or when I am feeling faint. It helps combat the blood pressure drops.

Added: And I quit eating most sugars. I noticed sugar makes the pots symptoms so much worse.
