Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome involves complex symptoms like lightheadedness upon standing with heart rate increases over 30 bpm, chronic fatigue distinct from ME/CFS, brain fog affecting concentration, and rapid heartbeat without drops in blood pressure. CareClinic users log heart rate variability using orthostatic vital signs, track fluid intake aiming for 2-3 liters daily, salt consumption for blood volume expansion, and symptom spikes related to heat, meals, or menstrual cycles. Use the POTS tracker to monitor compression garment usage, exercise protocols like recumbent biking, and medication responses to beta blockers, fludrocortisone, or midodrine.
Document symptom severity in different positions, track blood pooling in extremities, and monitor gastroparesis symptoms common with POTS. Create clear care histories showing patterns that help cardiologists and neurologists distinguish POTS from other dysautonomia conditions. Learn more about POTS management and how detailed tracking helps optimize treatment strategies for this complex autonomic disorder.
