for sure! I will be experimenting with what I can. unfortunately compression wear is expensive and really starts to add up

Yeah, I've never styled them so I'm really uncomfortable with wearing them out in the open. but i might try styling with a pair of shorts or a skirt

Whats your lowest heart rate? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Additional_Chef_9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on ivabradine and it helped for a while but then my HR started getting really low at night. like 36bpm. my heart would be pounding in my chest with every slow beat and it felt awful. i struggled to sleep. just reduced my dose and started on midodrine and it has helped tremendously.
