POTS Really Gives You A Skewed Understanding Of Heart Rate. Like When I Sat Up This Morning My Heart

POTS really gives you a skewed understanding of heart rate. Like when I sat up this morning my heart rate was at like 180 and finally (30 min later) it’s calmed down to 135 and I just said to myself “eh well that’s not too bad” keep in mind I’m still sitting. Some people I know (who don’t have POTS) would have trouble handling heart rates in the 120s- 130s and that’s just wild to me

Let this also serve as a reminder to take care of yourself and don’t push it on flare days please

I’ve been at universal for 8 hours now and holy shit. Having both the accessibility pass and my crutches has been life changing!!! I haven’t had to wait super long standing in lines which, I haven’t needed to sit as much as I would otherwise, AND I’m in a lot less pain than I would be otherwise. This is fucking incredible

Does anyone have any tips for going to Universal Studios Hollywood while disabled (chronic pain, hypermobility, pots, and autism)?

I’ll have forearm crutches but I’m not sure if that’ll be enough or what not. Also if I were to rent a chair to get around does anyone know how accessible rides are? (I wouldn’t need to be in the wheel chair in the ride or experience etc. Just maybe to get up to the loading place idk)

But seriously any help would be much appreciated
