POTS after the HPV vaccine with Dr. Tania Dempsey

In this episode, Dr. Tania Dempsey explores the potential link between the HPV vaccine and the onset of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in a subset of individuals. She discusses a theoretical framework where mast cell activation and pre-existing vulnerabilities in the immune system may contribute to this phenomenon. The conversation delves into the possibility that the vaccine might act as a trigger in those with undiagnosed pre-existing mast cell disorders, leading to an escalation in symptoms. Dr. Dempsey emphasizes the complexity of interactions between vaccines, mast cells, and autonomic function in susceptible people.
