Brain fog, or cognitive dysfunction, is a common complaint among POTS patients. This symptom can manifest as difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, or feeling mentally sluggish.
The exact cause of brain fog in POTS patients is unclear, but it’s likely related to the reduced blood flow to the brain caused by the condition. To manage brain fog, patients should focus on maintaining proper hydration and ensuring they consume a well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.
Additionally, incorporating memory-enhancing activities, such as puzzles or learning a new skill, can help improve cognitive function. Moreover, engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to promote mental clarity and overall brain health. (4)
