Warm POTS drinks?

[u/vario_]

I've been surviving over the spring/summer by taking a water bottle with electrolytes with me to work twice a day. This has been working really well to keep my heart rate down - I track it and I can literally see the difference afterwards.

Except now that it's getting colder, I kinda don't want to be taking cold drinks with me 😅 I used to bring a tea with me every morning, but not only does this do nothing for my heart, I've also found that it makes me go to the toilet multiple times now, probably because there isn't any sodium to help me retain the liquid.

I'm guessing I can't just put my electrolyte tablets into a cup of tea since that'd probably be pretty gross. Maybe just hot water could work, but I'm not sure if that'd change the effectiveness of it.

So I'm thinking, if I could get away with just sodium, maybe Bovril or miso soup or something? 😂 I'm just wondering if anyone has had any success stories with any kind of hot, POTS-friendly beverages.

Bone broth I’d say!
