Brain Fog presented by Dr. David Saperstein
In this video, Dr. David Saperstein discusses the symptom of brain fog, commonly experienced by individuals with dysautonomia and related conditions such as MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). He explains brain fog as a condition where the mind feels cloudy or fuzzy, often caused by factors related to autonomic disorders. Dysautonomia can lead to poor blood flow to the brain, affecting cerebral function, particularly during standing or exercise. Additionally, inadequate sleep due to pain or other disruptive factors can exacerbate brain fog, as can chemical releases from conditions like MCAS. Dr. Saperstein highlights that managing brain fog requires identifying its multifactorial causes in each patient, ranging from sleep improvement to managing mast cell activity, to find effective long-term solutions.
