Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral disease spread by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Because the recent pandemic has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality, understanding various aspects of this disease has become critical. SARS-CoV-2 can affect a variety of organs and systems in the body. The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in regulating body functions, and its dysfunction can cause a great deal of discomfort for patients. In this study, we focused on the effect of COVID-19 on the autonomic system and syndromes associated with it, such as postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS).
Keywords: Autonomic dysfunction; COVID‐19; POTS; SARS‐CoV‐2; Vagus nerve.
