Orthostatic hypotension
Hi all. 30/F. I recently was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension and was wondering what has worked for you if you have also been diagnosed. My doctor recommended I wear “groin high compression stockings” so I did order some but have yet to wear them as I’m a little intimidated. I also think I need to order a shower chair because I’ve been struggling with standing in the shower for any length of time, I always end up almost passing out so I end up on the floor of the shower sitting down most of the time. And does anyone else deal with super cold hands and feet? I can’t never warm them up. I also have several other chronic illnesses, Lyme disease, MCAS, PCOS, chronic gastritis, elongated qt, and a variety of mental health diagnoses. Is there any specific medication you take? I guess i am just looking for any help or advice at all. Thank you
