Hyperventilation and POTS: Do POTS patients "breathe wrong?" Dr. Jacquie Baker explains the high-tech research studies performed in her (and Dr. Satish Raj's) lab to untangle the mechanistic causes and effects of hyperventilation in POTS. She also explains findings on how hyperventilation in POTS differs from hyperventilation in anxiety. You can find the discussed publications here and here. Dr. Raj & Dr. Baker's latest research projects at U. of Calgary Autonomic Lab are listed here.

Some of Dr. Baker's work was supported by a grant from Standing Up to POTS. If you are so moved, donations are accepted to help to support our production costs https://www.standinguptopots.org/donate

The POTScast

Learn about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and more by joining us each week for a new episode. If you are living with POTS, MCAS or other chronic illnesses, you are not alone! Our goal is to raise awareness, nurture community, and empower patients with information and practical skills for living better with this chronic invisible illness.

Each month, we feature episodes with top POTS physicians as well as POTS patients. Because many POTS patients are eventually diagnosed with MCAS, the first Tuesday of every month we feature a new series called Mast Cell Matters, in which top MCAS practitioners share their experiences in better treating patients. You can learn more by listening to our groundbreaking POTScast anywhere, anytime. Visit our website at www.standinguptopots.org and follow our social media accounts @standinguptopots.
