Hydration

After any hard workout (tempo run, long run) I am puffy - the best indicator to me is how my rings fit after my workout is finished.

Up sodium intake and hydration, work to strengthen cardiovascular capabilities within the limits of chronic fatigue symptoms (don’t do too much at once or it will set you back). The best thing that has helped loved ones in my life who have POTS is to drink a World Health Organization oral rehydratio
