"POTS or “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” is a poorly recognised
condition we’ve been hearing more about recently.
When people stand up, get out of bed or off the sofa, their heart races and
they feel dizzy and fatigued, severely impacting their quality of life.
Everyday tasks, such as washing their hair in the shower or working, become
challenging because people cannot stay upright.
Before COVID, this debilitating condition was not widely talked about. But
during the pandemic, we’ve been learning about the strong similarities with
long COVID.
In fact, our recent research shows more than three-quarters of people with long
COVID we studied had POTS."
Unfortunately my father got POTS after he caught COVID last year.
