POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) in #LongCovid & #MECFS
I have many patients who have lived with undiagnosed POTS for years.
This is as disabling as heart failure.
Once diagnosed&treated I have patients whose lives have been drastically changed. #MedTwitter
The test is so simple.
The same as a lying/standing BP but for 10 minutes and not 3.

This can be done at home and best results I think are in usual environment (patients should always check this test is suitable before doing)
