Bad Patient

I will be the first one to admit it, I am not the best patient. I am not rude or anything, I just don’t usually follow the doctor’s orders as I should. I was just looking online and saw that they had a page that listed what you should avoid if you have POTS…here are some of the things on the list…

  • Alcohol
  • Bending up and down
  • Blowing up balloons
  • Climbing stairs
  • Large meals
  • Exercise
  • Fatigue
  • Giving blood
  • Heat
  • Holding your arms up in the air
  • Over stimulating environments
  • Singing
  • Stress
  • Travel by airplane

Ha! See! I have done everyone of those, bad patient I am. I found some of them quite funny though, like singing? Come on!! That doesn’t really work with me being a rockstar and such. And blowing up balloons?? Unless you are a circus clown, I think blowing up balloons is something most people don’t do on a regular basis.

I just thought that list was funny…laugh it up!
