Looking for alternatives to compression stockings for blood pooling

does anyone know of things that help with blood pooling in your legs and feet that aren't compression stockings? My sensory issues really make me struggle with them so if anyone has any ideas that would be great!

So is high and low functioning. Just because 1 person was tied to something negative doesn't mean the entire aspect is negative. I have a lot of Asian friends who experienced hate after covid, Muslim friends who don't feel comfortable speaking their own language in public, Mormon friends asked if they're polygamist and much more. Nazis associated one group with a terrible problem. I'm black. Let me tell you 12 racist terms we still use as a society that were used to racially oppress. Itis (type of food coma), uppity, peanut gallery, gyp/gip (gypsy), paddy wagon, bugger, hooligan, Eskimo, sold down the river, eenie meenie miney mo, hip hip hooray, and cretins. I won't stop using asperger's because it's a term majority of society knows. Every generation the word for people with disabilities becomes offensive. Previously it was disabled, handicapped, confined, defective, ret@rded, crippled, insane, or depressive. It's horrible that term is associated with nazis but it's not the only term society uses that is and they're not going to stop doing eenie meenie miney mo, catch a tiger by its toe, the t on tiger was initially an n. It was for kids to determine which slave was the best for hide and seek. And if you hate the term asperger's don't say hip hip hooray. It comes for what the Germans used to tell jews as they evacuated them from their homes.

Try to get a lot of electrolytes, and maybe add more salt to your diet. That helps keep blood pressure up and reduces symptoms

Have you tried compression leggings? Like workout ones, I find those better than the socks. But you might also try other brands of stockings depending on what about them is bad for you, some have no annoying seams, and there's different levels of compression if they hug too tightly or not enough.
