Looking for Exercise Plan for POTS

Has anyone had success with an exercise plan for pots? My cardiologist recommended that I do some exercise but didn't give much guidance. How did you start doing it? Some days I can't even keep myself sitting upright let alone walking and I would like to be able to go up stairs, would this help?

I use a recumbent bike every now and then while reading for about 15 minutes. (I’ve gotten to the point where I’m able to do 15 minutes, but I began with 5. ) I mainly try to leg and core exercises while in bed and laying down on the couch. It’s not much but, every little bit helps. :)

I've found a few nice beginner workouts by searching for pots exercises on YouTube. They're good because the exercises are done lying down and they focus on strengthening your legs and core.

On the days that I can, I like to do pilates because most of it is laying down but still gives a good stretch and work out. My cardiologist said that it was a good idea too

Recumbent bike is pretty good also leg exercises while laying down
