Nutrient Imbalances and Dysautonomia

In this resource, Dr. Svetlana Blitshteyn, a prominent dysautonomia specialist, discusses the possible role of nutrient imbalances in exacerbating symptoms of POTS and related conditions. She suggests testing for a range of vitamins and nutrients, including B vitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, sodium, chloride, iron, choline, blood glucose, and gluten. Imbalances in these nutrients may be linked to POTS and its comorbidities such as small fiber neuropathy, and addressing these imbalances might improve symptoms in some cases. However, it's important to note the limited research available, and to consult a healthcare provider before undertaking changes. This resource encourages those with dysautonomia to discuss nutrient testing with their healthcare providers and shares insights on the potential impact of vitamin deficiencies on symptoms like fatigue.
