From Cleveland Clinic:
What is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes your heart to beat faster than normal when you transition from sitting or lying down to standing up. It’s a type of orthostatic intolerance.

Each word of “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” has a meaning:

Postural: Related to the position of your body.
Orthostatic: Related to standing upright.
Tachycardia: A heart rate over 100 beats per minute.
Syndrome: A group of symptoms that happen together.
