Dysautonomia International is pleased to issue a $100,000 grant to Dr. Jessica Eccles, NIHR Clinical Lecturer at Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the UK, to study brain fog in POTS.
POTS, an under-studied disorder, is characterized by clinical symptoms such as lightheadedness, fatigue, shortness of breath, tremors, heart palpitations and fainting or near-fainting upon moving from a prone to upright position. In addition to symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system, patients frequently describe brain fog – a strong sense of difficulty when thinking and concentrating.
