POTS, Histamine Issues, PANDAS & MCAS: Why Everyone Feels Sick Now | Dr. Charlie Fagenholz, DC

But that's one thing that, you know, a lot of people are like, I never hit my head, but they were like a gymnast that's always falling on their butt kind of thing.

I think it's neurological and hormonal, but it kind of feels autoimmune-ish.

Like a lot of the same triggers, a lot of very delicate like spider of your web type thing.

Like faintness, lightheadedness.

The racing heart is really like the main thing of it, right?

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

Postural orthostatic means that when you get up, you're, you're dizzy, which I would argue half of people probably feel that way because everyone's adrenal glands have just been shot.

It's, it's dysautonomia.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

You asked if it's like autoimmune and it very much is like autoimmune, even though if it's, it's not technically autoimmune, but they have the same triggers.

And so what'll happen is they'll get up and their heart will like anxiety, like crazy.

Their heart starts racing.

They're shaking uncontrollably.

If they don't faint, they're very close to fainting.

What I had found was that a lot of times, right, there was viral issues like Epstein-Barr and a lot of mold.

Like mold is the great exacerbator is what I'll say.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark

It will make everything worse.

But you also have to balance your insides against mold.

So you have to balance your gut flora.

You have to get rid of the fungal overgrowth that's inside you instead of just the external mold that you're breathing in.
