POTS and Concussion: The Overlooked Neurological Link Behind Chronic Dizziness and Fatigue
Sat Jan 31 2026
Still dizzy, foggy, exhausted—or dealing with racing heart symptoms—despite “normal” tests?
In this Q&A episode, Dr. Zimmerman explains why concussions and POTS are often misunderstood, why MRI/CT scans are usually normal in concussion, and what most evaluations miss (objective balance + eye-movement testing). He also breaks down POTS as a nervous system/autonomic issue, why patients get bounced between cardiology and neurology, and how immune/metabolic factors like histamine patterns and low ferritin can worsen symptoms.
