Those researchers may not have been wrong, hyperventilation does often occur and respiratory physios can be quite useful in correcting disordered...
Commonly held view is that orthostasis results in central hypovolemia, particularly if there's neuropathic factors contributing to that. Knock-on...
There's prior research suggesting it can't be blamed solely on hypocapnia. CBF disruption occurs first, the hypocapnia follows and reinforces it....
So the morning after it hit Brighton I attended graduation there, great timing. Not sure who was worse off, the VC that had to shake hundreds of...
Haven't had a chance to read this paper yet but I do recall Stewart et al made observations in POTS research suggesting that unexpected and...
I thought it interesting that they made reference specifically to co-morbid POTS in the CCC-guided patient selection. Would seem to me like...
I'm particularly upset about us abandoning the Erasmus program too.
The effects of this are already being felt, unfortunately. Myself and all my colleagues lost our jobs at a University research centre last year....

This is your classic POTS with orthostatic hypertension blood pressure response on tilt table, it was not a fun experience :yuck: [ATTACH]...
Hi @NelliePledge, If you manage to get yourself into a good NHS specialist clinic for POTS/autonomic dysfunction they will definitely be aware...
N=1 anecdote here but my partners mum, who has quite severe treatment-refractory RA + immunodeficiency, is doing really well on JAK inhibitors...
I saw this reported in another article recently. I don't know all the details and certainly don't have any interest in defending the government...
This is quite interesting to me because very early in my illness I experienced that feeling of non-restorative sleep and feeling like death on...
I think this is actually best described in a medical setting as somnolence. What a lay person would describe as drowsiness or sleepiness....
With the benefit of hindsight I would recognise all of the symptoms described by the definitions, at a mild level. But as you say, back then it...
No problem. I think normally a benzodiazepine like Midazolam would be used. Respiratory depression is a well known side effect.
I'm possibly talking complete rubbish but I thought it was a sedative that you were given before the hypnotic that puts you to sleep. Muscle...
