@LinnJarte @Prof_J_Lawton Argh. There’s research. Full length 30-40mmhg tights with abdominal binder resulted in drop in heart rate of 15-20 bpm. Worked better than medications for me. https://t.co/1GN13Xc2zP

@marinaflares (Twitter)@Nick_Wellings My words! Especially since socks alone won't help all that much. You would need full-on tights. No idea how one can manage to put those on without PEM. But, you could also try abdominal compression alone. That's better than socks. Source: https://t.co/gfEbScWacl

@FudimMarat (Twitter)7. Autonomic dysregulation such as POTS, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension prevent cardiac filling with upright position, impair exercise function. Often the only therapy that works is "abdominal compression"➡️increase preload. https://t.co/XRlXWb85v1 https://t.co/2oh1uogyWL https://t.co/rzovGYsoNW

Abstract Synopsis
- This study investigated how different compression garments, especially abdominal and full lower body types, can help reduce heart rate and improve symptoms in adults with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) during a tilt test.
- The results showed that compression garments, particularly full abdominal and lower body compression, significantly lowered heart rate and enhanced blood flow, helping to manage POTS symptoms more effectively.
- Overall, abdominal and lower body compression may serve as useful treatments for POTS, especially when full lower body compression isn't tolerated, by improving blood circulation and reducing orthostatic symptoms.]
