Related Illnesses? Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Long COVID

Dr. Pederson discusses the relationship between POTS, long COVID, and MCAS, highlighting the overlapping symptoms and the challenges in diagnosing these conditions. POTS, a common form of dysautonomia, and long COVID share symptoms like brain fog, dizziness, and fatigue, leading to decreased quality of life. The lack of effective diagnostics and treatments adds to patient challenges. The potential role of mast cells in these conditions is explored as a possible underlying mechanism, with evidence suggesting that MCAS may contribute to symptomatology in both POTS and long COVID. This suggests a need for more research to improve treatment and patient outcomes.
