If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia.

They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life.

New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting?

Long COVID can include many health issues. Ask doctors about:

- #Dysautonomia (including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, #POTS)

- Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which overlaps with chronic fatigue syndrome. Together, they’re often called ‘#ME/CFS.’

- #Hypermobility
