Help with POTS and other signs of dysautonomia from Sanjay Gupta

[Shimmyaway]

This cardiologist in York has a number of videos on POTS which look useful. e.g

I really hope she is getting the help she needs. I don't have POTS myself, but other sensory signs of dysautonomia, for which I am getting zero help.

I watched the funny video about the sympathetic and parasympathic and as they both regulate our nervous system, I know its a balance. From my Education classes a diagram of a seesaw was used and ways to bring back the balance were suggested.

For instance, as shortness of breathe was mentioned and exercise difficult, they did floor exercises.

[Shimmyaway in reply to Lady4]

I do floor ex everyday, as well as ex from Lawrence van LIngen mainly to keep front of body tension free to reduce shaking. Have discovered today he promotes neural ex as well, including for the eyes .. thinking of your son here. see ref.youtube.com/watch?v=d28804F...(Not working as expected?)

Did you read my last post, I read that they advise you to lean in to tremors. Thats something new I have learn't.

[Shimmyaway in reply to Lady4]

No, haven't see that. What 'post' is the info under please? Any ref? I only need to lie down or do floor ex to encourage 'the shakes' .. which I do do before bedtime.

[Lady4 in reply to Shimmyaway]

Thanks, watched the first one and did a few figure of eight exercises myself, looks good for releasing tension after sitting at screens. Haven't had got space for floor exercises at the moment 😊

"A success story", interesting therapy used for tremors.
