The parts nobody else sees
POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, is invisible work: a heart that races when you stand, days planned around how long you can stay upright, and a visit where you try to remember which weeks were bad. Healya is built by people who know what that load feels like.
Standing still in a line or a hot shower can send your heart racing and leave you lightheaded.
Most people with POTS drink extra fluids, add salt and wear compression, and still have bad days.
Heat, an infection or a few days in bed can make your symptoms worse for weeks.
Your numbers already tell a story
Healya connects your standing heart rate rise, near-faint spells, fluid intake, blood pressure, your medicines and what changed that day so the story is visible, to you and to your cardiologist.
The jump in your heart rate from lying down to standing, averaged each week over twelve weeks, with the week of the stomach bug marked. It sat between 26 and 28 for the six weeks before it, read 32 the week you were sick, and has climbed every week since, to 44 now, which is the thing to show your cardiologist rather than describe from memory.
Liters you drank each day, averaged each week over the same twelve weeks, with the week of the stomach bug marked. It sat between 2.6 and 2.8 before it, dropped to 1.4 the week you were sick, and came back week by week to 2.8, where it has held for the last two weeks. Both lines are in your summary, so your cardiologist can read them together.
Near-faint spells (the times you had to sit or lie down fast to keep from blacking out) you logged each month over eight months as bars and as a line, with your last visit with Dr. Thibodeaux marked. They sat between 1 and 2 a month through that visit and the two months after it, then climbed to 4 in September and 6 in October, which is the question for the next visit.
Newly diagnosed, years in on treatment, or trying to judge a bad stretch: your standing heart rate rise is data, and Healya can track it.
How Healya helps with POTS
The rise you measure each morning, kept for you
A thirty-second check-in with the morning's standing heart rate rise, your fluids, your medicines taken and any near-faint spell, so the weeks sit on one timeline you and your cardiologist can read instead of a memory of the worst morning.
A bad stretch next to what came with it
Heat, an infection, a short night, a long time on your feet and what changed that day, logged next to each reading, so a climb has a record behind it that you and your cardiologist can read together. Healya shows the pattern; what it means is your cardiologist's call.
Your watch on the same timeline
Heart rate from your watch, when one is connected, next to the rise you measure and the spells you log, so a day spent upright and a bad evening show up as one picture. No wearable is required.
A summary your cardiologist can scan
A year of standing heart rate rise, near-faint spells, fluid intake, blood pressure and your medicines on one page, with the questions worth asking. Fifteen-minute visits go further when the story is already organized.
No wearable required. A thirty-second daily check-in is enough.
Reports written for POTS
Three kinds, each built from your own record. A summary before every cardiology visit. A report on how your months are actually going. And a plain-language digest of new POTS research, on a schedule you choose.
