I developed POTS around 3 years ago after an intense gastro-intestinal illness that went untreated. Since then, taking a shower has become an absolute nightmare. Most likely because of the vasodilation, my heart rate spikes and I get extremely dizzy. Thankfully I no longer pass out, but the dizziness still feels intolerable. I have already tried showering with lukewarm water, sitting down while showering, which helps minimally, but I still get symptoms every time. I avoid showering daily because of this. Have you found anything that helps ease your symptoms? I have Hyperadrenergic POTS if that helps.
