Relationship between POTS and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) with Dr. Cathy Pederson

In this podcast episode, Dr. Cathy Pederson joins Jill to explore the relationship between Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), particularly hypermobile EDS (Type III). They discuss how many individuals with POTS also have EDS, which is linked to genetic mutations affecting collagen production. The episode delves into how these collagen defects can lead to the array of symptoms experienced by patients, contributing to the complexity and difficulty in diagnosing and managing both conditions. For further detail on the diagnostic criteria and underlying mechanisms, listeners are directed to relevant resources.
