Post-concussional: This is somewhat unusual, and it would behoove you to have a cardiologist get involved. However, post-concessional issues typically fade and stabilize by 6 weeks following the injury and your apparent POTS will likely improve over the next few weeks. But, nonetheless have it fully checked out, just to be safe.

A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a concussion without a ct scan. Could a concussion cause high heart rate 2 weeks later? I've also had anxiety for 30 years?

A member asked:

Heart rate went from 80bpm-130bpm when I stood up within 30 seconds and bp went from 126/80 to 131/95. I get dizzy and weak when standing sometimes, this comes in episodes that last for days with other symptoms before improving. Could I have POTS?
