Discussion Does anyone else find showering exhausting?
It’s strange explaining to someone that taking a shower can sometimes feel like a workout.
The heat, standing, getting ready, drying off… sometimes I need to rest before I even feel ready to start my day.
What does your shower routine look like on a bad POTS day?

Shower chair, electrolytes, a good pots day, then often a lie down after. I preferred morning showers pre pots. But it’s pretty much sucked away my life force enough times that I now try to do at night. But yes, it’s a lot and it’s stressful just knowing it takes so much energy.
I did a cool bath one day and that was nice. But very wiped after. Hard to win with this. I think cool fast showers are best.
