When experiencing a POTS flare, some suggestions include resting more (laying down or sitting on the couch), focusing on slowing your breathing, rehydrating, and checking if your surroundings are too hot. It's also important to stay hydrated consistently and consider gentle cardio exercises if you can tolerate them. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
