A Case Study of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) caused by Post-Acute Sequelae of Long COVID-19 during Pregnancy

This is a clinical case report of an extremely unusual case of development of permanent Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) with orthostatic hypotension due to suffering from long COVID-19 during pregnancy. The case is unusual since the patient did not have indications of POTS during the first trimester of the pregnancy. At the start of the second trimester, she suffered from a severe case of SARS-CoV-2 infection and was hospitalized for the same. She had COVID-19 infection all through her pregnancy since she suffered from a long Covid-19 infection. Following her delivery and full recovery from the COVID-19 infection, she was diagnosed as having developed permanent POTS. At present, three years post her recovery from the long-term COVID-19 infection contracted during pregnancy, she continues to suffer from POTS despite being on medication.
