Can’t NOT be lying flat

Yes, I am finding that laying flat is the destination for me. Upright causes my BP and HR to rocket 🚀 and I experience dizziness, nausea, weakness etc. Basically my orthostatic intolerance symptoms start screaming 😢 I have just recently resolved that I need to maintain laying flat bedrest bc the symptoms of being upright, even for very short periods, is too costly. I hope this helps. Sending much 💕 and virtual 🤗, Auds
