I've written an overview of the problems with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) criteria.

A brief summary of the arguments looks like this:
A heart rate increase of 30 bpm (or 40 bpm in 12–19-year-olds) is far from abnormal. Many...
Abstract
Although diagnostic criteria have been developed characterizing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), no single set of criteria is universally accepted. Furthermore, there are gaps in the present criteria used to identify individuals who have this condition. The...

Abstract
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a complex, multisystem disorder characterized by orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia and may be triggered by viral infection. Recent reports indicate 2-14% of COVID-19 survivors develop POTS and 9-61% experience POTS-like...

Introduction
SARS-CoV-2 infection which causes the disease COVID-19 is most known for its severe respiratory complications. However, a variety of extrapulmonary effects have since been described, with cardiovascular complications being amongst the most common[1]. Those who recover from the acute...
Post-Covid-19 Tachycardia Syndrome: A distinct phenotype of Post-acute Covid-19 Syndrome
Ståhlberg, Fedorowski et al
Abstract
In this paper we highlight the presence of tachycardia in Post-acute Covid-19 Syndrome by introducing a new label for this phenomenon: Post-covid-19 tachycardia...
Introduction
Long-term COVID symptoms marked by autonomic dysfunction1 and cardiac damage2 following COVID-19 infection have been noted for up to 6 months after symptom onset,3 but to date have not been quantified, to our knowledge. Previous studies have found that wearable data can improve...
Case Report:
In conclusion, we describe a patient who showed tachycardia following mild TBI(traumatic brain injury). To our knowledge, this patient is the first reported case of tachycardia following mild TBI. Further studies involving a larger number of subjects showing signs of sympathetic...
I’ve previously considered myself to be unlikely to have POTS. I can be almost normally active on very good days (paid for later).
But a recent experience of tachycardia (110-135bpm when normal resting was 58-70) for days on end, and repeated instances in the days before and after that of...
With a sports watch I found out my HR goes up with more than 30 bpm withon 10 minutes when I move my limbs, but not on standing still. I can put on a sweater lying down and have HR of 120, and can stand with normal HR as long as I keep still.
I have many other symptoms of dysautonomia, such as...

Questions:
1. Do any forum members have a diagnosis of SVT (supraventricular tachycardia)?
2. Has anyone tried the Kardia mobile device/app (portable type of ekg)?
Background:
I don't know what kind of SVT I have...
