Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of Dysautonomia that is characterized by an abnormally large increase in heart rate upon sitting up or standing. We are talking an immediate increase from 75 bpm to 150 bpm or even 200 bpm. That's painful and incredibly disabling.

Salt is a POTS patients best friend. It helps to increase blood volume, which can alleviate symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and palpitations. Salt, specifically sodium, plays a crucial role in retaining water and maintaining proper fluid balance, which is often impaired in POTS patients.
