Scientists probe gut hormone link to 'Food Coma' in POTS

NCT ID NCT05375968

Summary

This study aims to understand why eating, especially carbs, makes symptoms like dizziness and fast heartbeat worse for people with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Researchers will test if a gut hormone released after sugar causes excessive blood pooling in the abdomen when standing. They will compare 25 POTS patients to 25 healthy people, measuring blood flow before and after a sugary drink while lying down and tilted up.
