Understanding and Managing Post-COVID POTS Syndrome

Tucker Disability Law | March 25, 2024

The Rising Concern of Post-COVID POTS Syndrome

In the aftermath of the global COVID-19 pandemic, medical professionals are observing a noticeable increase in nervous system disorders, particularly Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), among long-COVID sufferers.

Recent studies, including those referenced by the National Library of Medicine, highlight that between 2% and 14% of COVID-19 survivors develop POTS, with an even larger segment experiencing POTS-like symptoms, ranging from mild to severely debilitating.

What is Post-COVID POTS Syndrome?

Post-COVID POTS Syndrome is a condition emerging in individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 but continue to experience chronic symptoms indicative of an Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) dysfunction.

This condition is characterized by a dramatic increase in heart rate upon standing, leading to symptoms such as lightheadedness, chronic fatigue, brain fog, memory issues, chest pain, and more.

Notably, these symptoms can appear even with minimal activity and may persist, impacting daily life significantly.

Recognizing the Symptoms and Risks

Post-COVID POTS Syndrome symptoms extend beyond an accelerated heart rate to include trouble thinking (brain fog), headaches, nausea, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue that rest cannot alleviate.

Research suggests that anyone who has contracted COVID-19 is potentially at risk, with factors like pre-existing conditions and autoimmune responses potentially heightening susceptibility.

Navigating Diagnosis and Treatment

The diagnostic process for Post-COVID POTS Syndrome involves ruling out other conditions with similar presentations.

Once other causes are excluded, healthcare professionals may refer patients to specialists for a definitive diagnosis.

Treatment strategies are personalized, often including increased fluid intake, dietary adjustments, compression stockings, medication, and in some cases, exploring immunotherapy options.
