| Summary: | Background: The reason for autonomic dysfunction in COVID-19 is yet to get clear, though we tend to notice a few dysautonomia cases during post-COVID-19 manifested most commonly in the form of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Case Presentation: A case of autonomic dysregulation is presented in a COVID-19 patient as a post-COVID-19 sequelae. On doing an active stand test and two basic autonomic function tests, dysautonomia was diagnosed in the patient, after going through all routine investigations for six months. Cardiac parasympathetic integrity was assessed by measuring the heart rate response to standing by continuous electrocardiographic tracing. The management of these patients is usually conservative. Conclusion: Family physicians must be aware of such cases in future for early diagnosis and management of the patients.
