POTS & dysautonomia
Understand. Record. Prepare.
Put symptoms, posture, and activity into context.
AI-created editorial illustrationWhat POTS refers to
POTS is a condition in which heart rate rises unusually after standing, with possible symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, or fatigue. Other conditions can produce similar experiences. The NHS overview explains clinical assessment and available care; a wearable reading or symptom diary alone does not identify the cause.
POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Symptoms and measurements need clinical assessment; an isolated wearable number cannot establish the condition. A record can help describe what you experienced in relation to posture, activity, and what happened afterward.
This hub focuses on ordinary observations you already have. Use the guide to distinguish a sensation from a measurement, the log to keep context together, and the appointment notes tool to summarize situations that interrupt daily life. Ballast adds dedicated symptom, episode, intake, and report features. No home standing-test protocol or sodium target is prescribed here.
