ABSTRACT

Severe acute respiratory syndrome of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a contagious deadly virus that had a significant impact on public health. It also causes a major impact on the lung complication with other comorbid disorders, such as cardiac and psychological conditions, which also leads to significant health and psychological burden to the patients. The restoration of the mental conditions among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals becomes more essential. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted with chief complaints of dry cough and fever in the casualty care unit. She was diagnosed with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection and immediately admitted to covid care isolation wards. She was managed with antiviral drugs and other supportive care. Later, discharged with prednisone, oral anticoagulants, and vitamin supplements. Two weeks later she was presented with chief complaints of fatigue, palpitations, and dizziness diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and anxiety disorder. Further, symptomatic management provided with a selective beta-blocker, antiarrhythmic drugs, and anxiolytic drugs. The present case report provides a basic insight into complications of POTS and anxiety disorder associated with post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. The appropriate therapeutic treatment and providing better counselling may improve daily activity and quality of life in patients reported with POTS symptoms.
