One of the most common symptomatic complaints after COVID-19, vaccination, and now in most persons who have both exposures is POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).

This is a disorder where there is a lack of synchronization between the heart, brain, spinal cord sympathetic chain of ganglia, adrenal gland, and the blood vessels both arterial and venous. The Spike protein on SARS-CoV-2 and flooding the system after vaccination damages neurological tissue, the adrenal glands, and the heart.

Most of the care for POTS is supportive (lower leg compression stockings, increased salt and fluid intake, exercise). I have found in severe cases with adequate blood pressure that the use of nadolol can control the tachycardia and help while the patient has cardiovascular-neurological reflexes return to normal over a period of months.
