Okay another weird question for y'all: What's the least concerning way to tell someone why you are sitting/laying on the floor in public, if the reason is "my POTS is acting up and if I stayed standing up I might pass out, I'll be fine as long as I stay here until my heart rate comes down"

#the person behind the yarn #it's been a long time since I had my heart rate hit quite that number in public #but today it got up into the high 150s #as I was sorta half sitting half leaning on the tailgate of my mom's truck in her driveway #as she went to the backyard to grab something and I was like ah. too high #better sit down on the ground so if I fall it won't be far #but then I was like. sitting on her driveway #sorta half lounging on her driveway #because I didn't want to get my hair directly on the concrete but I also didn't want to fall over #so it sorta looked like I fell out of the back of the truck onto the driveway #I was fine! I'd just overdone it standing still as soon as I sat down for a while my heart rate went way down #but uh. I realized I don't have a script for if it happens even more in public than my mom's driveway #and like. it will. I should have a short blurb prepared ahead of time because I can't think well when my blood pressure is low enough #for me to need surprise floor time. like. if I need the floor time unexpectedly I can't also be thinking of solutions to problems
