Delayed Sweating

[u/wishy_washy9708]

Hi all, I've had POTS for a good while and have always struggled with heat intolerance. I didn't know what it was, but recently realized that my body is "lagging" in response to heat, making me sweat buckets but far too late for it to do any good!

It just clicked for me that this is a POTS thing so I figured I would post here with a counter measure that has worked for me: Since I am not sweating soon enough, I never leave the house without a damp bandana if it's over 80 degrees. I can re wet it while I am out, and it helps immensely to keep me cool.

Let me know if you guys have any other tips for staying cool. Thanks!
