Damn....POTS life really is crazy because before I was put on a beta blocker my HR would jump to 140+ just from getting out of bed each morning. 157 wouldn't have even made me blink.
Not necessarily! Salt makes you retain water, which increases blood/plasma volume, and makes your HR less likely to spike wildly. Increasing salt without increasing water along with it isn't a good idea though.
Water retention and increased blood volume are precisely what cause hypertension and a heart rate spike.
I'm hijacking the thread back to hair......lol
Thief, OCD, Hirsutically challenged, ... wait! As compensation, I demand you fork over some of those machines for testing. Let's see what all the hue and cry is about.
Not always, depending on various health conditions.

Hmmm...in the article you cited above, it mentions that POTS results in hypovolemia, NOT hypervolemia. Hypo means less. I'm assuming that it means POTS lowers blood fluid volume, therefore it makes sense to use salt to increase it. So, for a person with normal fluid volume, high salt intake would cause increased HR and BP. Now, if Reta requires electrolytes-consumption, I imagine that's mainly due to insufficient micronutrient intake similar to dehydration. In that case salt- sodium chloride alone would exacerbate the issue of imbalance. That said, it's possible the symptoms might feel similar to what you experience.
Not sure if related but I recently started taking aspirin and holy cow I felt like I got my 20yo mojo back. Bam it's like I'm a tripod all night.
My last two blood tests, low sodium and chloride. I was dehydrated from drinking to much water a days, and just flushing everything out.. Currently drinking a half Liquid a Day.
Depends on how much over time.
69 BPM is elevated? WTF? I've always ran at 72 since I've been watching since 10/2022. I have one of those finger tip ones that does O2 as well.
Yes, have heard of Lipo-C, but never used it. Really great right now at the Reta/Cagri and an idea that I might go back with Tirz (maybe I am crazy (no maybe there) but I FEEL like there is so much less inflammation with Tirz)...
Mine use to be 46-50 in my 40's when I was racing on a road bike and running marathons.
Dude...you weren't alive..So you have proven there's the possibility that the resurrection of Jesus is plausible.
I can't wait for the taint....
I personally prefer home IPL/laser hair removal. If you're willing to suffer some pain, might as well make it permanent.🙃
Whyyyyy? Surely you ladies must have invented some pain-free methods right? After all, this is for you folk, not men. Why would you want pain?
Well, epilators work by trapping and pulling hair with a turning coil (ouch!) and it grows back...might as well deal with the laser sting (which is less painful than pinning peps) and never see thy pesky plumage reappear.
Fellow sleever here. I can confirm the 'feeling less hungry' even on a smaller dose. I am very happy with that feeling! 😀
I hope that remains forever.
It's nearly impossible to optimize perfection.
I'll be getting both; toys to experiment and play with 😉
You know, this might seem a little farfetched, but trust me it isn't. I think you might be obsessed with body hair...I know it seems ludicrous, but think on it.
Don't bring ME into this, I got myself a Braun IPL to burn out all my hairs. I got like four hairs per armpit that still grow back and that's it!
