Do you have a foggy brain? Difficulties concentrating, finding words or with short and long-term memory? These neurological symptoms are common in ME/CFS, Long Covid and POTS but why do they actually happen? In this video, I talk about brilliant research by Prof Scheibenbogen and Prof Wirth which gives us five reasons for the brain fog and cognitive dysfunction that are so characteristic of these illnesses. Includes: low cerebral blood flow, intracranial hypertension, low carbon dioxide / hypocapnia, dysautonomia, ANS dysfunction.
