I say this as someone who has hEDS and POTS: does salt help, and can you taste salt in salty food?

If the answers are yes, it helps and no, you can’t taste it, you probably need more than you’re getting. My body flips its shit periodically and I need lots of extra sodium because I waste it. It may help you think better. Also, insist the brain fog is alarming and impairing your daily life — this is how I got tested. (I am 27. Took me until last year to get tested for POTS.) I would also ask for a blood test to rule things out — if you aren’t experiencing POTS, but having say, a thyroid issue, it’s better to know now than in 10 years.

I’m sorry your doctors aren’t listening. I’ve had an EKG and it was normal. Got the NASA lean test because my symptoms matched.
