Can anyone in the (South or East ) UK make a recommendation for a specialist who can deal with post Covid Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome?

    No, sadly not, but if it is any help there is a POTS UK charity: I don't know if they have any lists of professionals. Also STARS, who deal with a lot of causes of fainting. It may be worth asking the local Ehlers-Danlos charity branch (POTS is common in that condition too - it is why I have it).

    It's really difficult, because it can be annoying to be told to ask people already asked, but assuming that these things are necessarily easy to find would be equally daft!

    I wish I could be more help. It is a rather nasty condition. Hope you get somewhere with the medical profession. My POTS has improved substantially with good management; hope you have the same experience 😃
