Make sure that you are well hydrated. Drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!

It is possible and a wide range of symptoms have been reported post COVID-19 infection. A vaccination is still recommended. If symptoms occur, please see your physician and discuss additional cardiology evaluation.

COVID-19 has been implicated in causing a host of complications, especially in cases of "Long COVID-19". But most infections, especially those after vaccination, result in full recovery. Would delay your visit to the cardiologist for several weeks, as unclear that your infection, at age 23 yrs., would adversely cause exacerbation of pre-existing POTS.
