"Coat Hanger Pain" PART 1 - presented by Dr. Saperstein #shorts
Dr. Saperstein discusses the concept of 'coat hanger pain,' a type of discomfort experienced across the back of the neck and shoulders, commonly seen in conditions affecting the autonomic nervous system, such as POTS and orthostatic hypotension. The pain occurs due to insufficient blood flow to the brain and upper body, often triggered by prolonged standing. This pain maps out like the shape of a coat hanger, hence the name, and is an important symptom for diagnosing issues related to blood flow and autonomic function.
