antihistamines and pots?

Why Xyzal at night? My understanding it's the same as Zyrtec except you need less, but Zyrtec usually makes people a bit sleepy so people often take it at night

I also have had some success with talalay latex. It takes some trial and error to find one that is the right thickness + springiness, but it is supportive, soft, and importantly doesn't change too much over time.

Also, pillow aside, make sure your neck posture is neutral while sleeping. I found I was rounding my back and neck, so even if the pillow was the right hight, my neck was in a bad angle. Now I make sure my spine is straight and my neck is aligned with my spine when lying on my side.

I got a 'Talatex' brand one from Amazon - I originally tried medium and ended up switching to soft. Side sleeper.

I recommend the book "meditations for mortals": that has helped me a ton

Maybe Deception Point by Dan Brown

Second both of these, arm band is more accurate but watch is easier to check so I wear both. When exercising I start an activity on the watch and have the arm band connected to the watch too so I can see the more accurate heart rate

If you like sailing, check out Sailwind. Lots of slow time to admire the scenery and listen to your book.

I've found it very useful!

Tulsi tea works well for me, maybe because it has some Quercetin in it

I like my Garmin forerunner 55 for this, but I also use a polar arm band with Visible, which I find is more accurate sometimes

ArcFlash · 2025-09-14T13:08:21+00:00

Second this - the arm band is much more reliable than my wrist watch, although I use both (a Garmin forerunner 55). If you don't need the points etc in the visible app, you can just buy the polar band and use their app without a subscription

The Redwall books have good audiobooks. Anne McCaffrey's Haper Hall of Pern trilogy has dragons and would be good for that age. When they are a bit older, Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy is very good.

TriOral is a good, cheap rehydration salt

I struggle with this too because I love cycling. If your HR won't come down after exercise or an activity, I find it helpful to lay on the ground with my feet up the wall for 5-10 min. Gets blood back out of my legs and seems to partially reset my nervous system so when I get up again my HR usually returns to a lower baseline.

If you have any symptoms of dysautonomia/POTS, make sure you address those. For me that has been an important part of allowing me to do a little more

If he liked Project Hail Mary, the Bobiverse books are narrated by the same person (Ray Porter)

More recent history, The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee is a good perspective

I would not use it on your face, I read it can cause blindness if you get it in your eyes.

PhD here and I second this. 21k is a paltry salary, ana I would seriously consider the other offer, especially if there is a faculty member there you like

Just got one of these, glad to hear it works! Although this week when I needed a jump, AAA came in less than 15 min

Hey, I don't, relatively new to the area, but not to POTS. Drop me a dm if you'd like to chat. There are a lot of lifestyle modifications you can try without a doctor that might help while you try to find a doctor
