POTS - Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

  ('orthostatic' means 'upright')
  Primary manifestation is sharp increase in heart rate  
   within ten minutes of standing up from lying down. 
   Also dizziness, fatigue, brain fog.

  "There are case reports of people developing POTS and other
   forms of dysautonomia post-COVID. There is no good large-scale
   empirical evidence yet to prove a connection, so for now the
   evidence is preliminary."

  Covid and POTS link?
  "POTS may follow a relapsing-remitting course, in which symptoms
   come and go, for years. In most cases (approximately 80 percent),
   an individual with POTS improves to some degree and becomes
   functional, although some residual symptoms are common."
