Your meds say “antihistamine.” Your body says “not helping.” What’s really going on? If you’ve been diagnosed with POTS, mast cell activation, or histamine intolerance, odds are you’ve been handed a prescription for antihistamines. Maybe even multiple. But here’s the kicker: for many patients, the longer they’re on them, the worse they feel. In this video, Dr. Maggie Yu breaks down how blocking histamine doesn’t just quiet symptoms, it blocks stomach acid production, disrupts digestion, and leaves your body overloaded with the very histamine you were trying to reduce. The result? More food reactions. More gut issues. More mystery symptoms doctors can’t explain.
Watch to learn:
- Why POTS, MCAS, and histamine intolerance often go hand in hand
- The shocking ways antihistamines make histamine problems worse
- How common antihistamines like Zyrtec and Tagamet can damage digestion
- Why antihistamines often lead to more allergic and food reactions over time
Conventional medicine rarely connect the dots. But once you understand what’s happening under the surface, you can finally take back control.
