It's a clinical sign: Pots is a syndrome in which blood pressure stays the same when it should increase so the heart rate rises to compensate. Your high heart rate is a sign that your blood volume status is still too low but it is not inherantly dangerous in the short term. Persistently high heart rate has it's own long term consequences such as cardiomyopathy.
