Symptom focus (early afternoon): POTS‑related orthostatic dizziness.Light‑headed after a morning lab, I needed salt, protein, and potassium in a form I could assemble quickly while seated. This turkey‑bacon, egg, spinach, and avocado wrap does exactly that—its main goal is to support blood‑volume and steady heart rate on dizzy days.


Why it helps POTS

  • Sodium bump: turkey bacon and the whole‑grain tortilla together provide roughly 750 mg sodium—enough to boost plasma volume without resorting to electrolyte packets.

  • Balanced potassium: avocado and spinach add ~520 mg potassium, keeping the sodium‑to‑potassium ratio in a range that promotes stable blood pressure rather than spikes.

  • Quick prep: everything cooks in the same pan; total standing time is under three minutes, so you can stay seated for most of the process.

(While the spinach and avocado do contribute magnesium and anti‑inflammatory fats, the wrap is not formulated specifically for lupus flares or vestibular migraine management.)
