Young 18-year-old patient from roughly 2 hours away, presented to our clinic with extreme lifestyle debilitating POTS, venous pooling, and pelvic congestion. After appropriate work up and trials of lifestyle modification/medications, patient underwent a procedure to investigate for compressive disorder in the abdomen. Patient was found to have some of the worst compression we have ever seen, likely resulting in her underlying POTS. Patient underwent successful repair of these vessels with two stents with restoration of normal flow, with anticipation of significant reduction of symptoms based on previous similar cases; with a satisfactory (reduction of symptoms by 50% or more) improvement success rate around 90%…

Spring is starting to show up across the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

Longer days and warmer weather mean more opportunities to be outside. But for people living with dysautonomia, seasonal changes can also bring new challenges.

Rising temperatures, increased activity, and time in the sun can all affect how the autonomic nervous system responds throughout the day. That’s why a little preparation can go a long way.

If you’re planning to spend time outside this weekend, the simple checklist in today’s graphic can help you think ahead and pace your day wisely. Small adjustments often make a big difference.

Save this post so you have it handy as spring weather continues to warm up!

Autonomic disorders represent one of the more complex frontiers in modern medicine. They require careful listening, thorough evaluation, and a willingness to look beyond routine explanations.

At Mississippi Dysautonomia Center, our work centers on advancing recognition and long-term management of these conditions across the region.

Female patient in her mid 20s presented to our clinic with classic POTS symptoms, profound left leg swelling/pain, and currently being worked up for a hysterectomy due to unexplained debilitating pain. After medical therapy did not yield the appropriate amount of symptom relief we proceeded with a venogram and intravascular ultrasound. Patient found to have a very unique and rare bifurcating left iliac vein with near 100% obstruction and robust/significant collaterals coursing through the pelvic area dumping into the right iliac vein. Patient underwent successful minimally invasive endovascular repair. End results showed what use to be 100% obstruction, now with beautiful flow and no obstruction at the end of the case; along with shut down of turbulent pelvic congestion flow…

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, is not a one size fits all condition. It includes several recognized subtypes, each reflecting different patterns of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Some individuals experience symptoms related to impaired nerve signaling, others are affected by reduced blood volume, and some have exaggerated stress hormone responses when standing. Many patients show features of more than one subtype, which is why diagnosis and treatment require thoughtful, individualized evaluation.

Understanding how POTS presents in each person helps guide appropriate testing and care. If symptoms remain unexplained or inconsistent, specialized autonomic assessment can be an important next step.

23 year old patient presented from northern Alabama and sent over to the Mississippi Gulfcoast for care. Patient had a very symptomatic case of POTS and pelvic congestion. After failing conservative and pharmaceutical medical therapies with the inability to reduce symptoms by 50%, we moved forward with a venogram and intravascular ultrasound of the iliac venous system; also correlating with clinical presentation and physical exam. Ultimately, we found a very high grade left iliac vein compression with robust left to right collaterals dumping into the right iliofemoral venous system. After appropriate therapy and recovery, the patient now has a significant decrease of pelvic congestion and POTS symptoms; we also have been able to de-escalate her medications. Another successful case at The Mississippi Dysautonomia Center.

Merry Christmas from the Mississippi Dysautonomia Center! May this season bring moments of rest, hope, and joy to you & your family.

Dysautonomia is often called the "invisible illness" because symptoms may not be obvious to others, but they are very real. Fatigue, dizziness, heart rate changes, and brain fog can significantly affect daily life. Awareness begins with understanding.

For many living with autonomic disorders, simple lifestyle changes can make a measurable difference. Increasing fluid intake, appropriate salt consumption, and using compression gear can help reduce symptoms of orthostatic intolerance and improve daily functioning.

New research published this month finds that over 70% of people diagnosed with chronic fatigue showed dysfunctional breathing patterns, and many of these cases may involve autonomic nervous system dysregulation. If you experience unexplained fatigue, dizziness or shortness of breath, learning more about your autonomic nervous system could be an important step. Learn more at msdysautonomia.org.
