The information in this podcast is intended for Healthcare Practitioners.
Do you know what POTS is? It’s a chronic disorder that affects many young women. It causes problems with the autonomic nervous system, which controls the heart rate and other functions. People with POTS experience a rapid increase in heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and other symptoms when they stand up. POTS is poorly understood and has few effective treatments. However, some dedicated clinicians are working hard to find solutions and help patients. One of them is Dr Brent Goodman, a neurologist and director of the Autonomic Laboratory & Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Scotsdale, Arizona. He is also on the Medical Advisory Board for Dysautonomia International.
In this episode, you will learn:
· How POTS was discovered and how it affects the body
· What are some of the possible causes of POTS, such as viral infection, physical trauma, autoimmunity and cardiovascular dysfunction
· How POTS is related to other conditions, such as migraine, chronic fatigue, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS)
· What are some of the current treatment options for POTS, especially through diet and lifestyle changes
· What are some of the emerging therapies for POTS and what are the challenges and opportunities for future research
This podcast is essential for anyone who wants to understand POTS and dysautonomia better and help their patients cope with this debilitating disorder.
