Lowkey been dealing with the same thing for a while- got diagnosed with hypovolemic POTS recently. ngl now that I think about it, my POTS coulda been caused by rapid weight loss. Had a similar backstory to you where a lost hella weight and got anorexic skinny then started using gear. There's some pretty interesting evidence linking POTS(especially hypovolemic) with extreme calorie restriction: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Its Unusual Presenting Complaints in Women: A Literature Minireview - PMC
But as far as dealing with it, the cialis def is making it worse. There was a period where I'd be taking cialis every day even though I knew it was making my symptoms worse, but I was just like"fuck it, the pump is more important." It'd be hella counterproductive because I'd be so lightheaded in the gym I could barely stand up with a pump let alone get good lifts in. I just posed an update in my thread if you want some other methods to deal with it - Results from echo - time to put down the needle??
If you fw cialis you will love glycerol - a pre lift loadup of 1.5L water 7.5g salt 25g dextrose and 70g liquid glycerine will deadass give you a pump equivalent to 25-50 var. And for reducing postural hr jumps, id say the first line would be to be on top of hydration - drinking 2-3L of ORS(5g salt/L with 15g dextrose/L) is hella effective at boosting blood volume and blood pressure(glycerol is best but this is also hella good). I'm on almost a gram of gear + 6IU gh rn and my morning bp will still be ~95/60, and drinking 1L of my ORS gets it up to 110/70 and stops the postural hr jumps. But for bad days where that isn't enough I'll take some midodrine and Pyridogistimine which both act to raise blood pressure.
Now that I can handle the sides, lowkey I'm starting to fw having POTS. I'm doing a minicycle of pretty high doses, and I'm gonna get an echo in a few weeks to see how I respond to it. But on almost a gram of gear + 6iu gh + 15mg reta my bp never goes over 110/70 and rhr stays under 70(when im fully hydrated) without any beta blockers/bp meds. And I can stimmaxx as much as I want without sides. I've been doing 200-400 moda with 200-400 caffeine and literally get no change in hr or bp. Ngl pots is kinda goated bro you gotta start taking advantage of it.
