-
- Dokumentär
Lee is a physical therapist who has suffered from POTS most of her life.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects blood flow. POTS causes the development of symptoms -- usually lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat -- that come on when standing up from a reclining position and relieved by sitting or lying back down.
Many people who have had COVID19 are now affected by POTS symptoms.
Lee shares what it has been like having her POTS symptoms exasperated as a result of COVID, and gives great tips on how to exercise safely when recovering from COVID.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LEE'S PERSONAL JOURNEY AND POTS PROGRAM:
POTS Program website: www.exercisewithpots.com
You can sign up any updated information.
Lee's website has videos that talk about her personal and professional journey with POTS along with a question and answer video on the program itself.
It is a five day a week, five month exercise program that starts at the basics for those who want to manage their POTS symptoms.
Research shows that exercise benefits those with POTS 2 ways :
1- it builds blood volume and
2- It increases muscle strength in the legs and core which will help compress lower body blood vessels.
This will help to push pooling blood back up to the heart and brain.
Ultimately, it will help decrease many POTS symptoms in standing. It is a long term management approach to POTS which unfortunately is very common after COVID infection.
Anyone can follow Lee on Facebook for information and education at “exercise with POTS”.
