Pacing vs. Pushing Through

Two schedules. Same activities. VERY different outcomes.

The difference? Pacing.

One plan spaces out tasks with breaks, mindful rest, and balance — preserving energy and building consistency. Often times also leading to more productive work time.

The other stacks everything back-to-back, leading to a crash and forced recovery time.

I have seen a lot of day B with recent clients, cutting back activities and resting more. Doing less but when they are doing they are doing a lot, pushing through just to get things done.

Adding pacing within your day can really help improve overall energy, capacity and recovery building tolerance over time! Less crashes = better outcomes.

Whether you’re navigating concussion, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, or just daily life — pacing isn’t about doing less, it’s about doing smarter. 💡

Which one looks more like your day?

Up next is the final piece of the pie and the most common but under diagnosed form of Orthostatic conditions under the Dysautonomia Umbrella!

Orthostatic Intolerance (OI)

Individuals with OI have significant symptoms upon standing but non-specific HR or BP response to position changes. Therefore this sub classification often goes undiagnosed.

Fortunately they will respond well to the same conservative approach of the other 3 classifications:
- Graded Exercise
- Compression wear
- Hydration and Electrolytes
- Support!!! It is important to validate their experience! Often times I have seen individuals in this sub classification be more symptomatic and have decreased function due to inadequate BP and HR compensations but have been dismissed by previous medical providers due to not meeting classifications for POTS or OH.

Next up: Orthostatic Hypotension (OH)

OH is classified as a drop in blood pressure upon standing which can cause dizziness, lightheadedness or syncope (fainting).

Treatment aims to improve blood pressure regulation and reduce symptoms! Conservative treatment approaches are very similar to other Orthostatic Dysautonomia. Medications can be considered if needed to help regulation blood flow and improve upright tolerance.

Next up: Orthostatic Hypertension!

This is a lesser known, but more common form of dysautonomia that causes your blood pressure to rise abnormally when you stand up and yes, that can make you feel just as dizzy and off as low BP.

Common symptoms include:

Headache or pressure in head
Facial flushing or feeling hot
Neck or chest tightness

Symptom overlap includes:

Dizziness
Lightheaded
Blurred vision
Exercise Intolerance

Unlike POTS or OH, where blood flow may be insufficient, in OHT, the excessive rise in pressure can impair regulation of cerebral blood flow, leading to symptoms.

Conservative treatment approach is the gold standard with this classification and yes increased sodium is still recommended despite an elevated BP. Medications to address HR or BP are not recommended in this subclass and can often worsen symptoms.

Let’s dive a little more into each piece of the pie as it relates to dysautonomia and Orthostatic Tolerance!

First up: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Defined by a SUSTAINED heart rate elevation greater than 30bpm from lying down to standing, WITHOUT significant change in blood pressure.

Symptoms unique to POTS typically include racing heart or chest pain with standing.

Other symptoms that are common but not specific to POTS include lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog and exercises intolerance.

While POTS falls under the Dysautonomia umbrella not ALL upright intolerance is POTS and therefore Orthostatic Testing is necessary to confirm a POTS diagnosis. Blood pressure readings are necessary to rule in or rule out POTS. Rapid HR can be a secondary compensatory strategy due to changes in BP.

Remember classification is only important when looking at medication management. When taking a conservative approach the labels do not matter! Check back to my previous post for details on conservative treatment approaches!

Whether it’s POTS, Orthostatic Hypotension, Orthostatic Intolerance, or Orthostatic Hypertension, the conservative management approach stays the same—and it works!!

Here’s your autonomic care toolkit:

🏃‍♀️ Graded Exercise – retrain tolerance gradually
🧦 Compression Garments – support blood flow
🧂 Electrolytes – fuel fluid balance and BP, especially sodium!
💧 Hydration – 60-100 ounces/day keeps your volume up
🤝 Support – you don’t have to do this alone.

Same tools, different labels—because autonomic dysfunction needs a holistic, consistent approach.
