I took a short walk yesterday (1/4 mile) to the mailbox and back.
My Fitbit thinks I ran a marathon due to my blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen level.

This is why "go for a walk" or "just exercise" isn't sound advice for those of us who suffer from this

Hate my body and how disabled I can be sometimes.

Did everything right--ate food, some sweets, lots of salt, hydrated a ton, etc.

Five minutes of unloading dishes left me so lightheaded I had to immediately lay down or risk passing out.

I can ride my recumbent bike, reclining backward, for 15+ minutes and barely break 100. Other things like putting up groceries or changing sheets cause spikes. This is the visible armband and it is awesome and has been very helpful in adding visual data that aligns with how I feel. ❤️ #lifewithpots
