POTS and your period: Why symptoms may worsen during menstruation

For some people with POTS, the days before or during menstruation bring more lightheadedness, fatigue, and difficulty staying upright.

Hormonal changes may influence fluid regulation and circulation—even when heart rate and blood pressure readings look similar.

Our new patient education page explains:
• Why menstrual flares may occur
• How to track your pattern and plan ahead
• When bleeding, pain, or new symptoms need further evaluation

At NeuroSport, we help patients account for these patterns in their daily activities and rehabilitation, coordinating with their prescribing or gynecologic clinician when needed.

A predictable flare deserves recognition—and an individualized plan.

🎉 Celebrating 2 Years of NeuroSport! 🧠🏃‍♀️

Two years ago, NeuroSport Spine & Concussion Center opened its doors with a mission to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care for people navigating concussion, spine, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions—and what a journey it has been!

Over the past two years, we’ve had the privilege of working with incredible patients, athletes, families, students, and community partners. We’ve grown, learned, faced challenges, celebrated wins, and continued to push ourselves to provide the highest level of evidence-informed care.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has trusted us with their health and recovery. You are the reason we do what we do. 💛

A special thank you to our amazing team for the passion, expertise, and dedication you bring every day. NeuroSport wouldn’t be what it is without you!

Which supplements actually help with sleep?

Magnesium, melatonin, L-tryptophan, valerian, chamomile, and combination sleep formulas are widely used. Unfortunately, “natural” does not always mean effective, harmless, or appropriately dosed.

At NeuroSport, we begin with a different question:

Why is your sleep disrupted?

Difficulty falling asleep, repeated awakening, early-morning awakening, and unrefreshing sleep may have very different causes. Selecting a supplement without identifying the dominant sleep pattern is largely guesswork.

Our new evidence-guided resource examines:

• Why magnesium glycinate is commonly our first supplement consideration
• Why melatonin is a hormone, not simply a natural sleeping pill
• When L-tryptophan may have a selective role
• What the evidence says about herbal sleep remedies
• The problems with proprietary blends and combination formulas
• Medication interactions, adverse effects, and product quality
• Why NSF and other independent certifications matter
• When persistent insomnia deserves further evaluation

Responses to sleep interventions vary considerably. A product that helps one person may be ineffective or poorly tolerated by another.

The goal is not to build a larger supplement stack. The goal is to identify the cause of poor sleep and use the simplest reasonable intervention.

Long-Term Melatonin Use and Heart Health: An Interesting Finding, Not a Final Answer

A preliminary study presented at the 2025 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions reviewed health records from more than 130,000 adults with chronic insomnia.

Researchers found that individuals with documented melatonin use for at least one year were more likely to be diagnosed with heart failure, experience a heart-failure-related hospitalization, or die from any cause during the five-year study period.

These findings are interesting, but they do not prove that melatonin caused the poorer outcomes.

People who are more medically complex often sleep poorly, use more interventions, see clinicians more frequently, and accumulate more documented diagnoses. Melatonin use could be contributing to risk, but it could also be an innocent bystander or simply a marker of greater illness burden.

The study also could not reliably capture over-the-counter melatonin use, dosage, product quality, actual adherence, insomnia severity, or several other potentially important differences between the groups. It remains a preliminary conference abstract rather than a full peer-reviewed publication.

Our takeaway is neither alarm nor dismissal. This study gives us a reason to remain curious, reconsider the assumption that indefinite melatonin use is automatically harmless, and study its long-term safety more carefully.

Concussion recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process.

Two patients with the same diagnosis may experience very different symptoms, functional limitations, and recovery pathways. Effective rehabilitation begins by identifying the neurological, visual, vestibular, cervical, autonomic, cognitive, and physiological factors limiting recovery.

At NeuroSport, we use a structured pathway:

Evaluation → Clinical Priorities → Sequenced Rehabilitation → Reassessment → Return to Activity

The goal is not to treat every abnormal finding at the same time. The goal is to determine what matters most, establish the correct starting point, and progressively rebuild the patient’s capacity for school, work, exercise, daily life, or sport.

For patients whose symptoms persist or whose recovery has stalled, a more comprehensive evaluation may help identify what has been overlooked.

A patient can have normal eyesight and still experience significant visual dysfunction after concussion.

Blurred vision, double vision, light sensitivity, eye fatigue, difficulty reading, dizziness, and motion sensitivity may occur when the brain is no longer efficiently coordinating the eyes, vestibular system, cervical spine, and autonomic nervous system.

These problems may persist with post-concussion syndrome and may also affect patients with POTS and dysautonomia. A routine eye examination or brain scan may be normal because the dysfunction can involve how the brain controls and integrates vision rather than damage to the eyes themselves.

Our new NeuroSport article explains:

• Why concussion can disrupt visual pathways
• How dysautonomia and POTS can affect vision
• Common focusing, tracking, and eye-coordination problems
• Why visual dysfunction is frequently missed
• How NeuroSport evaluates these interconnected systems

☀️ Does Summer Make Your POTS Symptoms Worse?

You're not imagining it.

Many people with POTS and dysautonomia notice increased dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, palpitations, nausea, and exercise intolerance as temperatures rise. Heat places additional stress on the autonomic nervous system and can trigger symptom flares even in patients who have been doing well.

Understanding why this happens is the first step toward managing it. In our newest NeuroSport article, we discuss:

• Why heat worsens POTS symptoms
• The Heat-POTS Cycle
• Why hydration alone is often not enough
• Practical cooling strategies
• Summer travel tips
• How to recognize a developing dysautonomia flare
• When to seek medical attention

Whether you're planning a vacation, trying to stay active, or simply navigating day-to-day life during the summer months, these strategies may help you better manage symptoms and reduce heat-related flares.

Many patients with POTS and dysautonomia experience symptoms that seem unpredictable or difficult to explain. For some individuals, mast cell activation may be part of the picture.

Common clues may include:
• flushing
• itching
• hives
• heat intolerance
• food sensitivities
• GI symptoms
• rapid heart rate
• symptom “flares”

These symptoms can overlap with autonomic dysfunction and may fluctuate dramatically from day to day.

We just added a new NeuroSport Knowledge Center page exploring the connection between mast cell activation and POTS.

Why Drinking More Water Doesn’t Always Help in POTS

Many patients with POTS are told to “drink more water,” yet continue to experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and rapid heart rate when standing.

The issue is often not the amount of fluid intake.
It is how the body absorbs and retains that fluid.

Hydration in POTS depends on:
• Electrolyte balance
• Sodium intake
• Glucose-assisted absorption
• Blood volume regulation

Water alone is rapidly filtered and excreted, often resulting in minimal impact on circulation.

This graphic outlines why a more targeted approach to hydration can make a meaningful difference.

We’ve created a detailed, evidence-guided resource that explains:
• What to drink and why
• How much fluid and sodium is typically needed
• When hydration matters most
• A practical at-home electrolyte formula
