Every other week, Dr. Cheng Ruan meets with patients suffering from dysautonomia and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) to discuss various aspects of managing their conditions. In our most recent session, we delved into the crucial topics of hydration and salt, exploring their impact on autonomic function and overall well-being.
