Position Changes
Keep upright burden tied to timing.
Capture what happened when standing, walking, showering, waiting in line, or staying upright longer than usual.
Orthostatic Pattern Tracking
Make POTS and dysautonomia easier to explain across standing, recovery, and daily function.
POTS and broader dysautonomia patterns rarely stay contained to a single symptom. Heart-rate shifts, dizziness, near-syncope, heat intolerance, hydration strategy, compression, fatigue, brain fog, crashes, and recovery can all move together or split apart. Mito Map gives patients one place to keep those changes on a usable timeline.
Why POTS Fits
The useful record is not just heart rate. It is the whole orthostatic load.
Mito Map is useful when the real problem is reconstructing what happened around upright time, exertion, meals, hydration, medications, temperature, and recovery. The goal is not to diagnose POTS or define dysautonomia subtype. The goal is to make the pattern legible enough for patient review, visit prep, and longitudinal self-comparison.
Intervention Context
Track what actually helped.
Log compression, fluids, salt, meds, cooling, meals, pacing, and whether those changes improved symptoms or function more than once.
Visit Prep
Bring a cleaner story into appointments.
Show symptom timing, trigger context, flare severity, crashes, and daily-capacity changes without rebuilding the same history from memory.
Build A First Useful Record
Start with the upright trigger, the support stack, and the next-day cost.
Upright Trigger
Capture the few conditions that usually tilt the day.
Keep standing time, heat, showering, meals, travel, exertion, illness, or menstrual timing beside the flare so the orthostatic pattern is easier to compare later.
Support Stack
Track what you changed before calling it a better day.
Log fluids, salt, compression, medications, cooling, pacing, meal timing, or rescue steps next to symptom and function changes so repeatable supports stand out.
Recovery Burden
Show whether the flare stayed orthostatic or became a broader crash.
Keep fatigue, brain fog, pain, nausea, sleep disruption, and next-day payback attached to the same record when dysautonomia overlap extends beyond standing intolerance.

What To Capture
Questions that make a POTS or dysautonomia record useful.
- What were you doing before symptoms hit: standing, walking, heat, showering, meals, travel, or exertion?
- Which supports changed the outcome: fluids, salt, compression, meds, cooling, rest, or meal timing?
- Did the flare stay orthostatic, or did it become a broader crash with fatigue, brain fog, pain, or next-day payback?
- Did the same stretch also look like an MCAS-style flare with food, medication, environment, or heat exposures layered into symptoms and recovery?
- Are standing tolerance and daily function improving, flat, or getting harder to preserve over time?
Mito Map is an organization and tracking tool. It does not diagnose POTS, dysautonomia, or any other condition, and it does not replace medical care.
