Description

In this week’s episode, host Haylie Pomroy is joined by Irina Rozenfeld, a board-certified nurse practitioner, to talk about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), its effects on the body and working with clinicians to find the right treatment. The heart rate of individuals with POTS, when moving upright, elevates up to 30-40 beats per minute, depending on age. Patients can also experience tachycardia (Racing heart), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), orthostatic intolerance, and hypotension.  A healthy body should be able to adapt to posture changes. But POTS causes its patients’ heart rate to go up and blood pressure to drop. It also goes with symptoms of other chronic diseases, such as diabetes and anemia Tune in as we bring you hope and help in dealing with POTS. We at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine are eager to help you transform body dysregulation into wellness.   Irina Rozenfeld is a Doctor of Nursing at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine. She is also an Assistant Professor at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University. Irina worked for over 20 years as a physician assistant in Russia before joining INIM, where she focused on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic infections, vector-borne illnesses, metabolic syndrome, chronic pain, environmental issues, detoxification, and auto-immune diseases.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irina-rozenfeld-413a4028/  —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for tuning in to the Hope and Help For Fatigue and Chronic Illness Podcast.

Welcome to the Hope and Help for Fatigue and Chronic Illness Podcast. It's our mission to help people that have some really complicated illnesses. People that have post viral syndrome like long COVID and ME/CFS or chronic fatigue. Those that have had toxic exposures like gulf war illness, mold exposures, pesticides and heavy metals. These illnesses can present very similarly, they can actually look the same to your clinician. You may have fatigue, post exertional malaise, foggy brain and many other symptoms that seem to be common across many illnesses. Underneath all of these illnesses, the causes of the symptoms are very similar. We know first hand how hard it is to get access to meaningful information and care when you find yourself or a loved one here. It is our hope to give you, bit by bit, the knowledge and ideas that we have seen make a positive impact on individuals just like you. And that you will take all those threads and begin to weave back together a healthier person. Brought to you by the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine where we have over 200 years of combined clinical experience in Neuro-Inflammatory disease.
