MUST HAVES for anyone who has issues with dysautonomia or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
A blood pressure cuff is a must have. I opt for the arm one and not the wrist one.
Paramed Blood Pressure Monitor - Bp Machine ...
Get a sample pack and try it out in 32oz od water. This is the best way to maintain a decent level of potassium, sodium, and magnesium. My favorite flavors are the orange, citrus, and watermelon. The chocolate isn't bad either.

The ONLY thing I would change about the fitbit. Get a fabric band. The rubber/plastic band gets sweaty and is uncomfortable at times.

Fabric bands that fit the Fitbit sense 2. Much more comfortable.
