Is POTS the Next Post-COVID Health Crisis? 🫀
Dizziness. Heart racing. Fatigue that feels like a wall.
Since COVID, more people are experiencing these symptoms — and doctors are finally paying attention.
It’s called POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) — a form of dysautonomia where the nervous system struggles to regulate blood flow + heart rate, especially when you change posture.
➡️ Common symptoms include:
• Lightheadedness when standing
• Rapid heart rate
• Brain fog
• Nausea
• Shakiness
• Exhaustion after minimal activity
So why now? 📈 Research shows post-viral infections (like COVID) are major triggers for POTS — and since 2020, cases have skyrocketed.
Here’s the hopeful part: while there isn’t a “quick fix,” supporting the nervous system can make a powerful difference. At Watkins Family Chiropractic, Dr. Maxa uses brain-based tools like SPN functional neurology, vagus nerve stimulation, BrainTap, and NeuralChek scans to help patients regulate, restore rhythm, and retrain their body out of “survival mode.”
✨ If this feels familiar, know this: your symptoms are real, your body isn’t broken, and with the right support, your nervous system can heal.
