Perth WA · Long COVID & POTS

You know something is wrong.
CareBridge helps you prove it — on paper.

Long COVID and POTS are complex, multi-system conditions. Clinicians who haven't seen many cases often miss the pattern. CareBridge organises your full symptom history and investigation results into a single document your specialist can actually use.

Does this sound like you?

Symptoms that don't fit a neat box — and doctors who can't explain them.

Long COVID and POTS cross multiple organ systems. Fatigue, brain fog, heart rate spikes, breathlessness, and orthostatic intolerance don't always come up in a standard 15-minute appointment. CareBridge helps you put the full picture in front of your clinician before the clock runs out.

"My tests keep coming back 'normal' but I haven't been able to work since I had COVID. No one can explain it."

"My heart rate shoots up every time I stand up. My GP said it was anxiety. I know it's not."

"I've seen a cardiologist, a respiratory specialist, and a neurologist. None of them have spoken to each other."

"I've been told to 'push through' the fatigue. Every time I do, I crash for days. I need someone to help me explain post-exertional malaise."

What CareBridge organises for you

A multi-system history your clinician can read in 5 minutes.

Long COVID and POTS require a longitudinal view — symptoms that started, changed, and interacted over months or years. That's difficult to reconstruct in a short appointment. CareBridge builds it for you in advance.

Symptom onset & progression

The initial illness, how symptoms evolved, which came first, what improved, what didn't — documented in chronological order so the pattern is visible.

Multi-system symptom map

Cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, cognitive — all documented in one place, with frequency, severity, and triggers.

Investigation summary

ECGs, tilt-table tests, Holter monitors, blood results, sleep studies — summarised clearly so your next specialist knows exactly what has already been done.

Post-exertional malaise (PEM) log

A structured record of crashes — what triggered them, how long recovery took, and the functional impact — because PEM is often the most misunderstood and most important symptom to document.

Functional impact

Work capacity, daily activity, sleep, cognitive function — documented with specific examples, because vague "I'm tired" reports do not prompt the same clinical response as concrete functional losses.

GP referral support

If you are trying to access a Long COVID clinic, cardiologist, or immunologist, CareBridge helps you prepare the information your GP needs to write a strong, specific referral.

How it works

From scattered history to specialist-ready — in four steps.

Step 1 · Free

Free triage call

A 30-minute call to understand your situation and confirm whether CareBridge is the right fit. No obligation, no fee.

Step 2

You share what you have

Test results, referral letters, discharge summaries — anything you have. Even a rough timeline written in your own words is a valuable starting point.

Step 3

CareBridge builds your document

Antonella organises your history into a structured, specialist-ready brief. Delivered by email in 3–5 business days (or 7–10 for complex cases).

Step 4 · Included

Follow-up included

A complimentary check-in after your appointment — because what happens in the room matters too.

Who you might be seeing

Long COVID care crosses many specialties. CareBridge prepares you for all of them.

Cardiologist

For heart rate abnormalities, palpitations, and suspected POTS. CareBridge ensures your full symptom history and any previous cardiac investigations are documented before your appointment, not reconstructed during it.

Immunologist or respiratory specialist

For persistent fatigue, breathlessness, immune dysregulation, or suspected ME/CFS overlap. CareBridge documents the multi-system pattern that makes Long COVID different from other post-viral conditions.

Long COVID clinic or GP

Whether you're trying to access a specialist clinic or working with your GP to manage day-to-day, CareBridge prepares documentation that supports structured, evidence-informed care rather than reactive symptom management.

A CareBridge client story

James  ·  Long COVID & suspected POTS (Tier 3)

James had been unwell for 18 months after COVID. He had seen his GP multiple times, had a normal ECG, and was told his symptoms were "likely anxiety." He knew his heart rate was spiking to 140 bpm every time he stood up — but he didn't have the words to explain it or the documentation to back it up.

CareBridge organised his 18-month symptom history, his resting vs. standing heart rate observations, his PEM log, and a summary of every investigation he'd had. His cardiologist ordered a tilt-table test at their first appointment. POTS was confirmed three weeks later.

CareBridge provides education and navigation support only — not medical care. All clinical decisions remain with James's treating clinicians.
