Dysautonomia, POTS, & Long Covid

Many people deal with a “mysterious” type of condition which may go undiagnosed due to this disorder's complexity. This condition presents with a group of symptoms which express effects across numerous organ systems. This pattern of symptoms are often related to a dysfunction in the body’s autonomic nervous system and its intimate integration of body functions and blood flow.

Below are a list of symptoms associated with dysautonomia:

an inability to stay upright
dizziness, vertigo, and fainting
fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat
chest pain
low blood pressure
Brain fog
Blood pooling feeling
problems with the gastrointestinal system
nausea
disturbances in the visual field
weakness
breathing difficulties
mood swings
anxiety
fatigue and intolerance to exercise
migraine
tremors
disrupted sleep pattern
frequent urination
temperature regulation problems
concentration and memory problems
low appetite
sensory sensitivity, especially on exposure to noise and light

There are different causes for Dysautonomia such as post-concussion syndrome, immune mediated as in post covid infections, diabetes, parkinson’s, lyme infection, Ehlers-Danhlos Syndrome and others. It is believed that currently there are 15 different types of dysautonomia. Through a comprehensive analysis including Tilt table testing, QEEG analysis, and functional neurologic examination it is possible to gain greater insight as to cause and treatment options for neurorehabilitation where possible.

Long Covid is one of the conditions driving a wave of debilitating dysautonomia across this country and the world. Children and adults can be affected by this condition.
