Correspondence to He did suggest I speak with my cardiologist first(because of possible side effects). We set out to identify the incidence of new POTS-related diagnoses that occur after COVID-19 vaccination. Recognized as a clinical syndrome that manifests with orthostatic intolerance and postural tachycardia, POTS is diagnosed based on clinical features, such as orthostatic dizziness, palpitations and presyncope, and a 10-minute stand test or a tilt table test that demonstrate a heart rate elevation of at least 30 beats per minute from supine to standing position, the authors explain, noting that it has emerged as one of the features of postacute COVID-19 syndromes. In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers assessed the association between POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations. Moreover, the traditional POTS diagnostic criteria require symptoms to occur over a duration of at least 3 months that is, at least 90 days which is the assessed period. POTs symptoms continued. For the vaccine part of the study, the investigators examined electronic medical records from 284,592 vaccinated individuals (mean age 52 years; 57% women). Cardiologist came in and looked me over. For COVID-19-vaccinated individuals, POTS odds were higher 90days post-vaccination compared to those 90days prior to vaccination. 2022;43:340. Takeuchi, Y., Shinozaki, T. & Matsuyama, Y.

In the present study, researchers performed a sequence-symmetry analysis to investigate the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations and novel POTS-associated diagnoses by evaluating the odds of POTS diagnosis 90days before the initial vaccination/infection (background interval) vs. 90days following the vaccination/infection (subsequent interval).

There may be overlap eg, went to ER, then admitted to hospital. This type of analysis is inherently difficult owing to the lack of ideal controls, multiple confounding factors related to the context of the pandemic and the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on patients engagement with the healthcare system. We also recognized that by comparing the incidence of POTS-related diagnoses against the incidence of common diagnoses that are not POTS-related (for example, urinary tract infections, gastroesophageal reflux disease and hypertension), we could provide a benchmark that can account for healthcare engagement. 2015 heart rhythm society expert consensus statement on the diagnosis and treatment of postural tachycardia syndrome, inappropriate sinus tachycardia, and vasovagal syncope. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in However, they found that people diagnosed with COVID-19 are five times more likely to develop POTS after being infected than after getting vaccinated.
