Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID and suspected hyperadrenergic POTS/dysautonomia reports dizziness, intolerance of prolonged sitting or standing, exercise intolerance, and PEM/CFS flares after overexertion. In March 2026, during a flare, they had just started Normatec compression boots at level 2 for 30 minutes and hoped they would help. Regular compression socks helped a little on some days and not at all on others.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
