My son has MCAS.  Though I have never been tested.  Glad I am not alone.  Any suggestions?

Hi everyone. New to the board.  I have dysautonomia and autoimmune disease.  I seem to be very sensitive to meds and supplements. Wondering if normal for most?  I have had increased dysautonomia symptoms after taking zithromax, vigamox eye drops and most recently Zinc?  I get increased heart rate,  sweating, difficulty breathing, shaking chills, dizziness, and brain fog, and sometimes accompanied by stomach symptoms.  The zinc dose was very low and flare lasted about 7 days.   Anyone else have same problems?  Thanks!

I recently had worsened POTS symptoms after taking supplemental Zinc low dose.  Had increased HR, shaking chills, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, brain fog, etc.. lasted 7 days.  Anyone else had that happen?  Also happened when I took zithromax a couple of years ago. My doc does not know much about it. Thanks!

@Ashc  I understand where you are coming from. My stress level and anxiety are at an all time high.  I am not sleeping. I am afraid of the virus; afraid to get the vaccine. I know people who have had side effects which has made me more nervous to get it even though I want a vaccine and know those sode effects are extremely rare.  Everything makes my POTS worse!  I am thankful you made the post however and everyone here seems very encouraging and hopeful. I just posted to also let you know you are not alone.
