Hyper-POTS & CHOPS

TL:DR: do you get overstimulated in the mind from structured exercise, despite physically being fine, and what do you do about it?

Seeking input from anyone who has more hyperadregenic style POTS who has tried the CHOPS program. I’ve recently started it and felt good physically, but my mind became super wired and I ended up losing sleep & feeling worse as a result.

When I’ve made the most progress it’s been by focussing on doing something fun that helps me be more active without hitting the stress threshold. Doing the CHOPS cycling is boring, physically doesn’t put me over threshold, but it must stress the nervous system enough to make my mind race. Tempted to just go ride my bike outdoors somewhere nice and increase distance a little bit at a time, but not sure if that would help or make things worse.
