Episode 43: Dr Tae Chung - POTS and autoimmunity

TLC Sessions - Living with Long Covid

Dr Tae Chung runs the POTS clinic at John Hopkins University. Approaching this with his two specialties- neuromuscular and physical medicine and rehabilitation - he treats POTS patients, and those with Long Covid POTS, with a combination of functional exercises, alongside blood volume expansion and medication. In this week's episode he talks to us about his experience, working with his MDT, treating thousands of POTS and Long Covid POTS patients. He explains the paradox of 'exercise' when it comes to treating our illness, discusses how our nervous system is affected, and we hear the effective strategies he is using. His work has led him to the belief that Long Covid, certainly in instances of POTS, may be autoimmune driven and he is now involved in a phase two clinical trial using drugs that target autoantibodies.
