In addition to what’s been said compression socks and liquid iv are two things that I’ve found helpful.

I'm also in the process of getting diagnosed, I've started keeping the salt packets from like restaurants on me and it helps a lot in a pinch

Two things that helped me the most: stay hydrated, drink only water without sodas or something sweet, and don’t forget to get the salt you need as well. Gatorade can be a great solution but it contains sugar. The other thing that helped me was aerobic exercise. It may be hard to start but after a while I noticed the difference.
