POTS, MCAS and other co-travellers

Why hEDS rarely travels alone.

5 min read

Common co-occurring: POTS (dizzy on standing), MCAS (flushing, food reactions), IBS/gut dysmotility, anxiety (often physiological), /autism (high overlap).

Specialists: POTS → paediatric cardiology · gut → gastro · MCAS → allergy/immunology.

Don''t accept "it''s anxiety" for physical symptoms — push for proper investigation.
